    DANCE DURING THE PREHISTORIC PERIOD.

    Early Dance History: Prehistoric Times In its earliest


    forms, dance was often a celebration or ceremony. For
    example, hunters would dance both before and after a
    hunt. First to appease the gods for the animals they
    would be killing, and later to celebrate their success.
    DANCE DURING THE ANCIENT CIVILIZATION

    Dance is traced all the way back to the ancient


    civilizations of India, Greece, and China. Although
    each dance varies based on the culture, the reasons are
    similar: to tell a story or portray an important message,
    typically religious. Dance was influenced by
    significant human developmental milestones, such as
    the development of language, writing, and certain
    agricultural and governmental tools. Societal structure
    impacted the way in which the dance was performed,
    as well. Now let's take a closer look at these specific
    ancient dances.
    ANCIENT EGYPT

    Dancing played a vital role in the lives of the ancient


    Egyptians. However, men and women are never depicted
    dancing together. The trf was a dance performed by a pair of
    men during the Old Kingdom. Dance groups were accessible to
    perform at dinner parties, banquets, lodging houses, and even
    religious temples.
    ANCIENT CRETE

    The Cretan dances are divided into two large groups, the quick
    (“pidichtoi”) and the round (“sirtoi”). The quick dances remind
    war dances especially if they are danced by men. The round
    dances are more popular in marriages while, in the ancient times,
    were danced by the Minoans during sacrifices
    ANCIENT GREECE

    In Ancient Greece, dance was a form of ritual, as well as a


    pastime. Dance could be included in hunting communities,
    initiation ceremony rituals of age, marriage, and death,
    entertainment, dance festivals, and religious activity.
    ANCIENT ROME

    There is one particular Roman dance that was considered to be


    a native dance, this was called the bellicrepa. The bellicrepa is
    thought to have been created by Romulus, the founder of
    Rome.
    DANCE DURING THE MIDDLE AGE
    AND RENAISSANCE

    They range from slow, stately dances


    (bassadance, pavane, almain) to fast, lively
    dances (galliard, coranto, canario). The former,
    in which the dancers' feet did not leave the
    ground were styled the dance basse while
    energetic dances with leaps and lifts were
    called the haute dance.
    VAST DANCE (COURT OF THE EUROPE IN THE 15TH AND 16TH
    CENTURY

    Despite the chronological limits given above, the Early


    Renaissance period of dance is commonly referred to by dancers
    as '15th century' and the Late Renaissance period of dance as
    '16th century'. In the UK, we find Tudor dance, Elizabethan dance
    and Jacobean dance developing during these centuries.
