There a number of dance styles that is accompanied with or without music, some are collaborative and indeed the accompanying sounds are produced by the dance participants. Dance has in certain cultures been thought of as an art form, whilst others tend to liken dance to a physical workout or view it as part of a ceremony. Whatever form it has been viewed in, dance has formed an important aspect of different cultures since the earliest recorded activities of human civilization - forming integral parts of ceremony, rituals, celebration or general entertainment. It is hard to be certain of when the notion of dance was conceived, but prehistoric cave paintings have been uncovered that appear to depict a type of dance amongst the characters in the painting. One can easily draw comparisons between complex animal movements or animal mating rituals (such as a bee dance or the mating dance of a bird) and human dance forms. In human culture dance forms part of social expression and interaction – it has been described as a nonverbal form of communication between people. Dance can be performed in a variety of context – whether social, cultural, aesthetic, or artistic, this will define its meaning and because there are a wide variety of dance styles it can be 'performed' individually, with a dance partner or in a larger group. A recent dance phenomena known as a ‘Flash Mob’ is a dance staged by a large group of people in an open public space for a short period of time to the amusement of startled onlookers. These dance events are organised using public spaces and social networking sites to generate participant interests, it appears to have caught the imagination of advertising agencies who have used flash mob features in ad campaigns. Competitive dancing can include jazz, hip-hop, lyrical and tap dancing (providing the perfect platform for tap shoes), whereas Dancesport although a competitive dance focuses on ballroom and Latin dancing. The popularity of competitive dancing has seen a number of television programs with a central dance theme such as 'Strictly Come Dancing' in the UK and 'So You Think You Can Dance' in America.
