emotion.

we live and the world in which we live.

Let Us Remember

v The emotion you display comes from deep inside. Let the energy of the
music fuel your enthusiasm.

v Dance is often accompanied by music, but it's also a form of

nonverbal communication and self-expression because when people
feel free to move their bodies without judgment, you often get a
glimpse of their innermost thoughts and feelings.

v Self-expression is any type of emotional release that reflects a genuine

reaction to a situation or event. This can be verbal or nonverbal and
can use the body or external media.
