Explanation:
1. Dance has been an important part of ceremony, rituals, celebrations and entertainment since before the birth of the earliest human civilizations. Archaeology delivers traces of dance from prehistoric times such as the 10,000-year-old Bhimbetka rock shelters paintings in India and Egyptian tomb paintings depcting dancing figures from c. 3300 BC.
2. iIndigenous peoples, also referred to as First people, Aboriginal people, Native people, or autochthonous people (from the Ancient Greek αὐτός autós meaning self/own, and χθών chthon meaning Earth), are ethnic groups who are native to a particular place. Indigenous first emerged as a way for Europeans to differentiate enslaved black people from the indigenous peoples of the Americas, being first used in its modern context in 1646 by Sir Thomas Browne, who stated "Although... there be... swarms of Negroes serving the Spaniard, yet they were all transported from Africa... and are not indigenous or proper natives of America.
3. Dance, the movement of the body in a rhythmic way, usually to music and within a given space, for the purpose of expressing an idea or emotion, releasing energy, or simply taking delight in the movement itself.
5.These dances, which are integral to the community's way of life, are: the ritual dances, which connect the material world to the spiritual; the life- cycle dances, which celebrate an individual's birth, baptism, courtship, wedding, and demise; and the occupational dances, which transform defense and livelihood activities to celebratory performances.
6.The Classification of Dances Dancing is generally divided into two grand divisions, namely, social and theatrical, or salon and show dances. The social or salon dance, having been devised solely for social pleasure, is of such a nature that persons who do not make dancing a profession may acquire knowledge of it.
