For Interviewer
1. What is your outlook about dance?
Ans.: My idea as of dance before was that it
was used only for cultural celebrations but
nowadays, dance can be performed
everywhere and everyone with or without
any reason.
Ans.: Dance really inspired me a lot due to
the fact that it can also be a way of
expressing ourselves with our emotions. It
helped me as well understand the different
cultures by watching the dances. It also has
different benefits that is very good in
physical and mental health. Lastly, dance
can bring the people together in peace and
harmony.
Ans.:
 Stress Reliever
 Weight Loss
 Improves condition of heart and lungs
Ans.: My outlook about dance It's wonderful
practice and a great opportunity for me to
express myself. I don't believe it's exercise
since I'm having a good time. It's a great
way for older adults to keep healthy. I can
help you maintain healthy muscular tone,
enhance your balance, get a solid aerobic
exercise program, and gain confidence.
2. Will dance be important in expressing one's emotion?
Ans.: I think yes, as far as I know dancing is also an art where we can express our thoughts
and emotions and for me it is very important to put emotions in dancing so that people
watching can understand and relate in a dance presentation. I believe that emotions can
really set the mood and the vibe for the watchers to enjoy and be entertained.

My insights during my talk with Ma. Carena is that I agree in everything she said. Personally, I’m not a
dancer and I only dance when I do my Zumba exercise and when I dance Zumba I feel like I’m good in
dancing even if I’m not. It really takes a confidence to be able to execute and express myself through
dancing. For me, dancing is also a talent and people are blessed that they have the nicest body and
moves. Now that I have this course, I will really try my best to perform well and have the confidence like
others.
