An Appeal for Dance

Let's talk about dance a little bit, shall we?

What is dance, anyway? Some might say "oh, it's an amount of movements that, combined, form a choreography for a song, following it's rythm". Others might not even talk about it, due their shame on dancing in public. There is a lot of representations of dance for everyone. 

What do you feel when you dance? Dance itself is an art, a beautiful art, where you don't just move your body around in a certain rythm, but you express yourself, your emotions. You can feel your freedom, like there is no limits for what you can do. Dance is like chemistry, where you can mix different things to form something completely new. There, your creativity can go to places never before visited, or you can even improve what has already been created.

Since antiquity, dance was used, like I have already said, used to express people's emotions, being one of the three main performing arts, beside music and theatre. It was used on the worship of gods and was vinculated to olimpic games. Through history, dance was changing it's artistic values, adapting itsef for the new eras that were passing through.

The entertainment industry embraced it, using it in every kind of product that can be shown to people. Movies, plays, shows, cartoons, commercials, etc.
Commercials are a very important vehicle for the transmission of a merchandise with dance in it, because dance can have such an impact on people, triggering even if only a little bit of interest.

For those who enjoy the act of dance, when they do it, it's like...well...it is the paradise, they close their eyes and their body spek for themselves. When you do it with other people, is even better. Watching each other "go", sharing the same feeling by expressing it with your whole body, and the smile that comes after the song is over is the best. The feeling of accomplishment is umbeliavable. Let's not forget that it is good a good exercise too!

So, if you are part of the group of people that I described on the beggining of the text, the ones that are ashamed of dancing, please, try doing it, at least once. You NEED the feel those sensations at least once. Everyone will judge you on every side, but it doesn't matter if there are negative critics, because what does matter is the confort that you are going to feel during your routine, and your good vibes are certainly going to influenciate others to "shake their thing" and open their mind to new horizons.
