If you had to press certain experts in the arts and humanities what the most complex form of performance art is, they would say ballet, hands down.
What art? Can you explain?
Ballet! The art of dancing in time to music while choreographing each movement to a note in an orchestra. It is so complex that it has a dictionary of it's own terminology.
Can you tell more about ballet?
Sure! It's a form of art where dancers attempt to convey the story of a particular piece of music through motion and music. They aren't able to speak or sing, so they must let their physical movements convey the story.

Swimming relies on the nearly neutral buoyancy of the human body. On average, the body has a relative density of 0.98 compared to water, which causes the body to float.
