Dance. Art or instinct? Why do we love such uncharacteristic movements for the body to various music? What drives us? I will try to answer based on my own observations …
Dance … The movement of the soul, not the body. We can observe a certain dance in a gait, in a look and even in a voice. Sometimes we dance within ourselves. Well, it’s more worth touching the dance of the body itself. We all love different kinds of music - country, geek-rock, pop music, classical, jazz and thousands and thousands of directions and sub-directions that we are moving towards.
As soon as we hear the music, then we are attracted to move rhythmically under it. It is possible that this is an instinct laid down from the first living organisms. Mating dance in animals, a kind of dance of snakes when moving. By dancing, the first people called rain, worshiped the Gods. The significance of many dances to this day does not change, only the performance and faith in their purpose change. Now dance is a way to show oneself and stand out, a way of entertainment, a way of earning. We often do not betray the true color of every movement. Observance of the canons of our ancestors in our time is not considered mandatory, since the need to call for rains in this way has almost disappeared, leaving significance only for some peoples. But still.. the desire to move in this way did not disappear. You know what I want to say … Dance! And dance more. Country, waltz, club dances, salsa, pas de deux. It relaxes, facilitates communication, broadens one's horizons and also helps to maintain a toned figure and brain in place. And think about how nice it is to dance and know that someone is admiring you, and maybe envious of you. And at that moment you enjoy the music and yourself.
Is dance an art? Sure! It was originally the art of creating with the body, guided by the soul. Otherwise, how can we express emotions. And not only express, but receive. For example, how a heart beats before a performance or when a man invited to a dance and you have to show your skill to the people. The main thing - and do not panic. Panic was never the case. No one will forbid to be afraid, but you don’t need to go crazy and shake. So you won’t get any pleasure and still pay attention to you. You can’t overdo it either, otherwise it will turn out that you will become a YouTube star in the “funny” list. But, of course, if this is your goal, then overdo it on health and amuse the people!
I really like dancing and try not to miss the opportunity to develop in this area.
Love you in the dance, courage, desire and everything will turn out!
