As time went by its form became richer and took shape, and with the emergence of film it adjusted to the new medium, primarily within musical. Throughout the history of film, the theme, purpose and aim of the musical changed and consequently so did the movements and choreography in musical numbers.

The representation of body in the Hollywood musical, mainly in the musical numbers, reveals many changes that took place in society and art. The emergence of modern dance had great impact on the move and expression and also on the change in perception of the male and female body and the way they were presented in the musical. Singing and dancing were not just for fun, but were also used to demonstrate and underline the principle ideas of the film, which remains the feature of modern musicals.
