What is Dance?

Dance comes from the German word damson, which means “to stretch or “to drag”. It
developed as a natural expression of united feeling and action. Dance is considered the
mirror of the society because it responds to historical and religious events as well as
social and political statements. Although there have been immense comparative
differences in period and culture, people still dance mainly for four reasons: (a) to
please gods; (b) to please others; (c) to please themselves; and (d) to build community
within an ethnic group or social interaction.

Muscular endurance is the ability of the muscles to perform continuous without

fatiguing. The Basic Plank is most often used to test muscular endurance.

Flexibility is the ability of each joint to move through the available range of motion for a
