DancingLots of people love dancing. It’s not surprising because dancing is a way of expression. This body language is peculiar form of art. There are many dance contests nowadays where children and adults reveal their dancing abilities. I like watching such contests no matter what style of dance they present. The history of dances is rather long and interesting. People started to dance at prehistoric times. They danced during certain ceremonies, rituals and celebrations to praise their gods. There are numerous archeological proves for this fact. For example, ancient Egyptians depicted the figures of dancing people on tombs. These pictures survived to the present day, although they refer to 3000 BC. Native Americans were also fond of dancing. They simply couldn’t imagine their lives without dancing. They danced to welcome each season, to thank gods for harvest, to express joy and grief, to denote the start of fight or hunt, etc. Today dance also remains an important part of human culture. A lot of people are still fond of dancing. The good thing is that modern music has a great number of styles, so people can choose what they like. Most teenagers like dancing to disco music, others prefer rock and pop. People dance to express their emotions, to relieve stress, to keep fit and healthy, to feel the rhythm, and simply to have fun. Dance is like a non-verbal form of communication. Many couples celebrate their union by wedding dance, which is an unforgettable experience. My favourite dance style is break dancing. It’s a street dance that is a part of hip hop culture.
