The meaning of gesture or dance

Abstract

Gesuture or dance are somehow different from sports in that the essence of those bodily movements is not obvious compared with that of sports, where the end results are judged from records. What characterizes those skills, then? When the end of movements is not obvious, we are ended up with observing how they are done. In thinking that way, we are led to the distinction between products and actions, as observed by Aristotle. One is required to do things right when he masters a particular skill. In this view, the research is carried out by identifying the minimum elements comprising the skill. The rightness is strongly influenced by the social custom, thus, the sort of skills is more social than the other sort of skills for which the end products are judged ob jectively.
