I found an article stating that the first archeological proof of dance, was in cave painting in India. I wanted to find out if that fact was true, being that the source was “Not Secure”. I decided to fact check. I followed 4 steps: Check wikepedia, check for similar information from different sources, search for the subject and the word hoax, check the source of the information for credibility.

1. The article: dancefacts.net.

2. Check Wikepedia.

3. Check for similar information.

4. Search “dance cave painting hoax”.

5. Check the source of the information (sciencedaily).

Overall I believe the statement made in this article (dancefacts.net) to be TRUE.

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.
