be classified as a sport. Dancing has the potential to put us into a trance. It has the
ability to immerse us completely in the present moment. Some dances are spiritual,
some are cultural, and some are just for fun and enjoyment.

different people in the world, such as taboos, cultures, songs, color and many others,

Dancing is not my sport. It is my passion for which I want to work hard in my spare
time, and I never want to give up no matter what. Overall, dance is an excellent way
to develop valuable social skills. But, more importantly, it is an opportunity to teach
us the value of belonging to something bigger than ourselves. As we work in a group,
dancers learn to take turns, share attention, and cooperate with others. These life
lessons are a great way to encourage ourselves to be better in all situations.
