Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

　　 Dance can often express thoughts and feelings far better than words can. You should say that dance speaks to our eyes as music speaks to our ears. There are many different kinds of dancing. Folk dance is for celebration or ceremonies. It is usually part of a long tradition of local customs. Social dance like ballroom dance, disco and break dance is fun and informal. All types of dance have special steps and movements which must be learnt. These skills are called technique. When a dance technique is mixed with music, costume and scenery to tell a story, it is called a performance dance.
