Why is Good for You
By: Niall C.
*First of all, let us define the word “Dancing”. It is the inflected form from the word “Dance” which means “To engage in or perform a dance”, “To move up or down or about in a quick and lively manner.* ~It generally refers to human movement either used as a form of expression or presented in a social, spiritual or performance setting. People who dance are called “dancers” and the act of dance is known as “dancing”. An event where takes place may be called “a dance”. Choreography is the art of making dances, and the person who does this is called a choreographer.
Historically speaking, has certainly been a part of the human culture whereas it is always accompanied with music. Certain dance forms were called “tango, waltz, jive, foxtrot, ballet, jazz and even hip hop” just to name a few.~
Let me raise the question and reason on why is good for you. It is actually a good form of exercise. It not only involves your whole body to move but it also definitely improves your health. It is indeed a form of cardiovascular exercise. has become a part of my life since I was at a very young age. It actually became my job since I was very fond of the art. I can still remember how awkward I felt during my first day taking up ballet and jazz basics and believe me, I was only one of the few in my country who were males learning such the said art. At first I felt really embarrassed but if you think and look deeply it was really an advantage for me. Soon enough as I was learning more I had the chance and opportunity to teach modern jazz, ballroom dancing, hip hop and even breakdancing. I became a dance choreographer. Imagine learning ballet, jazz and all that eventually led me to a very successful career in the field of dancing. It has also helped me in a lot ways healthwise. I not only was enjoying it, it also has helped improve my health.
