Music is an art, entertainment, or other human activity that involves organized and
audible sounds and silence. It is expressed in terms of pitch, rhythm, harmony, and timbre.
Music involves complex generative forms in time through the construction of patterns and
combinations of natural stimuli principally sound. As a human activity, music may be used for
artistic or aesthetic, communicative, entertainment, or ceremonial purposes. The definition of
what constitutes music varies according to culture and social context.

Texto 5: Dance
Dance (from Old French dancier, perhaps from Frankish) generally refers to human movement
either used as a form of expression or presented in a social, spiritual or performance setting.
Dance is also used to describe methods of non-verbal communication (see body language)
between humans or animals (bee dance, mating dance), motion in inanimate objects (the leaves
danced in the wind), and certain musical forms or genres.
Choreography is the art of making dances, and the person who does this is called a
choreographer.
Definitions of what constitutes dance are dependent on social, cultural, aesthetic artistic and
moral constraints and range from functional movement (such as Folk dance) to codified,
virtuoso techniques such as ballet. In sports, gymnastics, figure skating and synchronized
swimming are dance disciplines while Martial arts 'kata' are often compared to dances.
