languagea language in which moods and emotions are expressed in movement., Dance is a

Go back as far as you can in recorded history and youll find records of dance. The
dance appeared in various forms as far back as ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome.
Dancing is a way of expressing emtion. It gives expression to deeply rooted emotions, often so profound as to
border on reverence. You can see this effect with the way dance was incorporated into many religious festivals, pagan and otherwise.
Look in the Bible in the 150th Psalm: "Praise ye the Lord in all your songs and dances."
Most of us have an instinctive urge to express ourselves in rhythm. Notice how somepeople tap their fingers, or keep time to the beat with their foot. Primitive men satisfied this urge by beating drums and dancing around a campfire. sheer exhaustion.
We, of the so called civilized world, satisfy this same instinctive urge

What we all agree on is that dancing is a wholesome, natural outlet for the emotions. The ability to dance develops personality, and above allit is fun.
