It is obvious that verbal expression is the most common type of communication that has been prevalent throughout history. However, there is another type of non-verbal communication that has been just as much used and articulated throughout time as speech; it is the expression of body language. Body language can be used to express different emotions, and one of the most basic yet intriguing facets of body language has been, and still is dance. Today dance is seen as a form of art, but it did not start out as such. There are records of dance dating as far back as the Greek and Roman Gods. Then, it was used as an offering to fertile animals. This type of ceremonial dance can be found in the history of almost any countiy. The question is, when exactly did it turn from that type of expression to what we know today as art form and self-expression. Dance dates back to the Shiva, whose ‘tandav’ is known to every Indian.
