  Even signing and dance use tools, they’re just biological and under sophisticated neural control. It takes at least as much work to train vocal cords and breathing as it does to train muscles to use a paintbrush.

  Dance generally uses tools too, but they are more subtle and better integrated. Clothes, props, lights and even the stage can be seen as tools to achieve dance's aims. Singing can certainly use tools too. Auto tune and special microphones. Perhaps you mean to say that neither require tools.

  Tools define those too, I've seen a few GREAT articles on the subject, but the example was given: There's a dance everyone knows called "the robot." It, of course, didn't exist until after robots were invented because no one would recognize it as that. Even more interesting, when e.g. a dancer makes it look like s/he's "moving backwards." We as humanity couldn't really concieve of that until we saw e.g. film actually run backwards. Recently I was watching some beatbox battles, similar deal. I kind of like them less these days because I prefer when they imitate/get inspiration from acoustic or other "older" instruments, but now the majority of them are imitating, e.g. bass synths and EDM type stuff.
