Dance

One of the many passions I have is dance. Dance is often performed with music to keep a beat or rhythm. It is an interesting form of expression and communication. Many cultures and religions use dance as a form of storytelling and to express emotions. There are different genres of dance that can contrast each other, such as, modern dance and ballet. Modern Dance originated in Europe, contrasting ballet, which was already popular in the 19th century. I believe, the different styles of dance, each represent a culture and/or emotion. There are some more intense dances that can represent sadness or anger and there are other dances that tend to be less intense, or even the same intensity but conveying a different emotion with them. Dance is also a great form of exercise. It’s good cardio and its super fun to do. I personally enjoy dance because I feel free and happy when dancing. Another reason I enjoy it is because there is so much variety in dance and there is so much more to it than just moving around to music. There is art, a story, an emotion, and a culture behind every genre. Many people can enjoy dance and there is no right or wrong way to do so.
