Musical film is a film genre in which songs by the characters are interwoven into the narrative, sometimes accompanied by dancing.
The songs usually advance the plot or develop the film's characters, but in some cases, they serve merely as breaks in the storyline, often as elaborate "production numbers"..
Thomas A.
Edison films Ruth Dennis (later known as Ruth St.
Denis) doing a skirt dance outdoors.
The first film is projected to a paying public at the Grand Cafe on the Boulevard des Capucines, Paris..
A dance film (also known as screen dance) is a film in which dance is used to reveal the central themes of the film, whether these themes be connected to narrative or story, states of being, or more experimental and formal concerns.
In such films, the creation of choreography typically exists only in film or video..
These works could be called screendance, dance film, dance for camera, cinedans, videodance/videodança/vidéo-danse, choreocinema, or other similar terms, or may fall under the umbrellas of experimental film or video art..

The history of dance movies coincides with the history of the motion picture itself, beginning at the dawn of the twentieth century: Origins: Inventor Thomas A.
Edison made one of the first dance movies in 1894 when he filmed real-life dancer Ruth St.
Denis performing her “Skirt Dance” in a scenic location..
Acting was not necessarily where the focus was, but the body was already an important subject or object to storytelling.
This is why dancing was so relevant since the beginning of film history: dance provided proof of movement..
