    Folk dance, ballet, and modern dance are all forms of human expression through movement. While they can be separate genres, ballet drew inspiration from folk dancing. Folk dances were originally performed by indigenous tribes but have since been adapted for stage performances. Modern dance arose in rebellion against the strict structure of ballet, embracing the free expression of folk dancing.
