Dance is a way of knowing and communicating.
All societies use dance to communicate on both
personal and cultural levels and to meet physical
and spiritual needs.

Dance, as with all the arts, has its own
language. We need to learn this language in
order to fully understand and appreciate the
world of Dance. All dances can be classified
into 3 categories of DANCE. The categories
are
Artistic
Ceremonial
Recreational

Dancers wear clothes that
show off their body and
curves. They wear clothing
that is comfortable and that
lets their bodies express any
kind of movement. Attire
such as leotards, spandex
shorts, skirts, and tank tops
are very common. Also,
dancers accommodate to
the weather, so when it gets
colder they use leg warmers,
tights, shrugs, yoga pants
etc.
