Parkour
According to American Parkour's website, parkour "is an art of movement in which you train the body and mind to overcome obstacles." This is a practical application of running, jumping, twisting, rolling, and many other things, in order to get to a place more effectively. This is not to be confused with freerunning, a "cousin" of parkour that adds more flips and flash for the fun of it. Parkour has a purpose of getting somewhere and freerunning is just for fun. Below is a video clip of people demonstrating parkour and freerunning. The video has taken a bunch of clips, combined them together and place upbeat music behind them, which gives the clips a strong sense of forward motion . Parkour and freerunning are done without music but when the music is placed behind the clips it begins to look like a form of dance.
