HISTORY of DANCE FACTS
by
René Blanco
If it is true that the earliest humans developed about one million years
ago, then, bodies moving to a beat, better known as dancing, is hundreds of
thousands of years older than the dawn of recorded history around 3500 BC.
Prehistoric humans banged on sticks, stones and animal skins while
chanting and gyrating to the rhythms. These are the oldest forms of
human artistic expression―Music and Dance, creating & moving to the
rhythmic beats. The fact that every culture around the world developed its
own music and dance makes them the most essential, primal and
universal art forms. The question is which came first, music or dance?
Most would say music, because without sounds people probably
wouldnt move, but the opposite might also be true, that human beings
just naturally wanted to wiggle their bodies so they used rhythmic
beating and chants to backbone the creative movements. ― R.B.
