Combinations of these have become traditional dance steps and have been used for folk and ethnic dances, social, dances and modern expressive dances.

Dance was also socially significant since it enabled the poor to see the rich as their equals and by dancing in a socially approved ways with their peers, individuals proclaimed their allegiance to society as a whole.
The nobility danced for the sake of social grace, to exhibit their finery and to meet their future wives and husbands, peasants danced to make themselves happy and to escape the routine of their life.
Dance is probably the most personal of the arts in that the feeling and emotions evoked by the dance are in the main experienced and felt by the dancer, it is the dancer who is mostly moved by her dance.
The watchers look and see the effect of the emotions and the movement, but they cannot fully fathom the dance. A painter and his painting are separate, once painted if the painter is not there the painting still exists, with a poet, the poem remains even if the poet does not, the same with a sculptor and his sculpture. However with dance when the dancer goes, so does the dance, they are linked and depend on each other.
