Dance
Our body can perform some actions such as rotating, bending, stretching, jumping, and turning. With all these physical actions, we can create a number of body movements.
Every culture emphasises certain features in its dance styles. For example, lilin dance from West Sumatra, has some candles carried by the dancer, or topeng dance from Betawi, uses a mask to perform its dance. And there are many more.
Basically, our body has the potential to be developed, usually through long periods of special training. For example, in ballet, the ballerina exercises to rotate, or turn out the legs at the hips and many more.
