DANCING
Why Is Dance Important?
Dance can be a billion different things for a billion different people. However, the main things are that your body is moving, and it's a way of expressing how you feel about something other than verbal communication. It is sometimes thought of as a form of meditation, something your mind and body both transcend into in unison. Feeling the flow of the music and moving your body intuitively is such a personal, but amazing experience to have. Especially when it is something that you can learn professionally, or even dancing around your house like an idiot where (hopefully) nobody sees. Most of all, it's the feeling of that bodily freedom that is the one of the most valuable attributes to dance.
Six Main Types Of Dance
Street Dance
Street Dance is a quick paced, funky, pinpoint moving type of dance. It's great for people who enjoy pop music and like moving quickly and accurately, dancing to music.
Tap Dance
Tap dance is rapid movement of your feet with heeled shoes to create a sound and rhythm to the music. It's usually performed with a large group of people, enabling them to create multiple rhythms and beats at the same time.
Ballroom Dance
Ballroom Dance is slower paced and requires concentration, accuracy and rhythm rather than rapid movement. It's great for people who would like to improve their multitasking skills.
Ballet Dance
Ballet dance is very elegant and consists of twists, turns, jumps, pirouettes, leaps and a lot more to perform. It takes flexibility and a lot of practice. It is best to start when you're quite young, but it is suitable for adults too.
Swing Dance
Swing dancing is an old-fashioned,rapid-paced style of dance. It has many spins and kicks to it, perfect for legwork and improving accuracy. It boosts your ability to move and co-ordinate quickly to music.
Tango
Tango is also quick-paced and is similarly a mixture of modern, ballroom and swing dance all in one type of dance. It's brilliant for adults improving their dancing skills (and for women dancing in heels)
