In its broadest sense, music is born with man, and was already
present, according to some scholars, long before human beings
spread across the planet, more than 50,000 years. It is therefore
a cultural universal.
History of dance
• Since prehistoric times humans have felt the need to
communicate bodily movements expressing feelings and
moods. These early rhythmic movements also served to
ritualize milestones (births, deaths, marriages). In principle, the
component had a ritual dance, held in fertility ceremonies,
hunting or war, or of different religious, where the very breath
and heartbeat were used to provide a first cadence of the dance.
