Title: Contemporary dance
Passage: Contemporary dance is a dance performance genre that developed during the mid twentieth century and has since grown to become one of the dominant genres for formally trained dancers throughout the world, with particularly strong popularity in the U.S. and Europe.  Although originally informed by and borrowing from classical, modern, and jazz styles, it has since come to incorporate elements from many styles of dance.  Due to its technical similarities, it is often perceived to be closely related to modern dance, ballet and other classical concert dance styles.
Title: Dance music
Passage: Dance music is music composed specifically to facilitate or accompany dancing.  It can be either a whole musical piece or part of a larger musical arrangement.  In terms of performance, the major categories are live dance music and recorded dance music.  While there exist attestations of the combination of dance and music in ancient times (for example Ancient Greek vases sometimes show dancers accompanied by musicians), the earliest Western dance music that we can still reproduce with a degree of certainty are the surviving medieval dances.  In the Baroque period, the major dance styles were noble court dances (see Baroque dance).  In the classical music era, the minuet was frequently used as a third movement, although in this context it would not accompany any dancing.  The waltz also arose later in the classical era.  Both remained part of the romantic music period, which also saw the rise of various other nationalistic dance forms like the barcarolle, mazurka, ecossaise, ballade and polonaise.
