DANCE.

Dancing is known to be one of the oldest forms of art. It's believed that probably even back in prehistoric times men and women were dancing to some kind of beat. Dance has evolved over time and just keeps getting more popular as time changes.  From ballet leaps to simple swaying at your own prom, dancing is essential to everyday life.  There are so many types of dancing; such as it being a popular craze or a soaring ballet leap across a stage. It can be folk dances that have been handed down from many generations or modern dancing. Either way dancing has become as important as breathing for many people; such as myself. No one really understands how important dancing actually is or how essential it could be to a certain culture. When I visited The Museum Of Natural History during last weekend, I read about African American culture and how the boys had to dance for their own beliefs. Two kinds of dances evolves as cultures developed; social dances on occasions that celebrated births or religious dances to sometimes ask the Gods to stop the rain or cure a sickness.  The Waltz is considered one of the oldest kinds of dancing there is. It stood for freedom of expression and freedom of movement.  As the 20th century evolved different dances started happening such as the twist, boogie, or the jitterbug.  In every part of the world dancing has evolved with it and created it's own history. Dancing comes into my own life as normal as eating or sleeping. It's my passion and knowing dance is one of the greatest ideas of art amazes me more. It has become essential all around the world, with different cultures and different moves. No two people dance exactly the same and that's what makes dancing so unique; so amazing.
