Is Dance A Universal Language?

Dance has been around for a long time, it is older than many other popular sports we have. It takes on the physical capacity to be labeled as a sport, and yet in most cases, it is not. It is one of the few activities that is both a sport and an art, but it is given very little respect as a sport. Dance has evolved in a number of ways throughout time, but it has always been through a meaning. Whether that be dancing for love or faith, or dancing for first place.

“Dancer’s are the athletes of God,” Albert Einstein said. Dance has many structures to it; there is modern, ballet, contemporary, and tap just to name a few. Dancing should be recognized as a sport. Dancing has the same components as a sport does; dance improves memory, balance and coordination, and it provides a mental escape.

The endless debate between the dance world and the sports world is trying to decide where dance fits in. Dance does require athletic ability for the technique needed. However, dance does not fit completely into what is typically considered a sport. Some people say it cannot be called a sport and that it is an art instead.

Dancing as a genre is part of the oldest culture in humanity. It is an act related to shamanism that exhibits all sorts of human emotions and can also contain political messages. Thus, even though dancing has been with our community for a long time, acts of entertainment that are more visually exciting such as concerts and movies have been more popular; only the passionate fans showed interest in pure art of dancing and street culture. Dancers were able to put on a show while releasing emotion in their movements and expressing their feelings. Krump dance, and all social dance of today, are danced for essentially the same reasons. Dancers are able to release anger, fight hardships, and overcome class struggles by simply moving their bodies

Dance is one of the most beautiful, expressive forms of art known to mankind. It expresses joy, love, sorrow, anger, and the list truly goes on for all the possible emotions that it can convey. Dance not only can express how one feels, but it can tell a story or even be used to praise a higher power. Dance has intricately played an important role to every culture over the course of time. Two forms of dance that have not only stood against the test of time but have influenced the development of other various styles of dance is none other than Classical Ballet and Modern Dance.

Just like any other sport, there are many different groups inside of the dance community. You can treat dance as doing it for fun, a club, a hobby, a serious passion or a career. You can do the same thing with all other sports as well.

Throughout all forms of art there are several ways to portray a message to an audience, whether it be through a painting about the meat industry or a song about an unjust legal system, expression can take on many different forms. No matter what the message or motivations of the piece, it is up to the artist how they want it portrayed. Dance is no exception to this rule, in today's world dance is one of the most popular ways to spread a message. From flash mobs to protest art dance is one of the most visible forms of expression people recognize today and these pieces of art are always evolving and changing to fit the wants and needs of the artist.

There's just something about dance that people can relate to. It is something that is universal and doesn't require that the dancers and the people watching speak the same language.

Dancing has a unique connection to the world and the people around you. It can push you to your physical limits or it can bring you peace of mind.

Dance is still a means of representing and expressing particular emotions or experienes; however, I might add that its applications extend beyond entertainment and can serve a more rigorous agenda.

Dance has been a natural movement form since the beginning of time. The origin of dance is unknown, just as the knowledge of the benefits of dance are unknown to many in our society. Many people do not enjoy dancing and also do not fully understand the positive benefits that come from dancing. Researchers such as Edwards, Duberg, and many more have found countless mental and emotional benefits of dance that originate from movement patterns, brain connections, and even expressions of emotion. Many are aware of the physical benefits of dance, but beyond the physical benefits of dance, there are also emotional and mental benefits that come from dance as well.

I began dancing when I was three years old and have loved every minute of it. For me, dance is an outlet. Whenever I dance it feels like nothing else matters. It makes me forget about all of the things that had been troubling me and gives me a safe place to be myself.

Dance is the word that is broadly that used to define a human behavior characterized by expressive movements of the body. It is the grace, artistry, and classicality and precision that distinguishes ballet from other dance styles. People have danced for many different reasons such a religious, entertainment, tribal rituals, exercise or to simply to express something that cannot find voice in words.

In Canada dance history began with indigenous dance of First Nations Peoples, but with the arrival of European settlers came more European dance forms such as ballet, which have shaped dance in Canada into what it is

These dances eventually evolved to include praise songs and myths that were enacted by trained dancers and actors. By the end of the 5th century BC, these dance dramas were part of entertainment and provided social and political commentary on the times. Amongst the Romans, dance waxed and waned in acceptance by the powers that ruled. Until 200 BC, dance brought life to Roman processions, festivals and celebrations. However, in 150 BC all of the dancing schools were closed as Roman nobility considered dance as suspicious and even dangerous activity of the masses. Dancing has come a long way since ancient times. But there are still some similarities. When people thought up these dances they were trying to express themselves, their emotions, their problems and beliefs. Today we do the same thing. We make up dances according to our attitudes, beliefs, thoughts and feelings. The future will also contain dances that will reflect that society. There are many different kinds of dances.
