Canon, in music, is a compositional technique that involves the imitation of a melody at different pitches (or at the same pitch but starting at different times) by two or more voices or instruments.
In dance, a canon is a dance form in which two or more dancers perform the same sequence of steps, but with a slight delay between them. This creates a sense of balance and symmetry, and can be very effective when performed by a large group of dancers. Canons can be used in a variety of dances, from simple folk dances to complex ballets.
Some of the most famous canons in music include Pachelbel's Canon in D and Bach's Goldberg Variations.
