The Art Behind

One may define dance as the movement of a person’s feet and body, usually accompanied by music. To me, however, dance means more than that. Dance is an art involving grueling practices, calluses on your feet, sore muscles, bedazzled costumes, first-place trophies, and lots of aggressive competition. I have been pointing my toes and tapping my feet since the age of twelve. At the age of 14 during high school, I competed in my first competition. Dance is everything to me. My whole experience was just like a dance routine.

Dancing is life, and life starts now. The moment I stepped in the center stage, hearing the loud cheers, banging of the drums and all, boosted my confidence every time I dance. There's this weird adrenaline that really puts me into the rythm. I see dancing as an exercises to human brain as it applies concentration and focus. It gives you the ideas that dancing could make someone smart in away. Yes, smarter that what other people think.

Dance is more than just a sport, it’s a passion. Dance is something you work hard for, something you put all of your spare time and effort into. Dance is a sport that you never want to give up on. When the day of your dance competition arrives, you put everything you have learned about dancing over the years, and show it all to the hundreds of people watching you. No matter how exhausted you are on that dance floor, you may not give up. You need to dance until the very end, until you are the best dancer you can possibly be. In order to be the best dance you can be, you need to practice during your spare time at home. The only way to get first in a dance competition is to practice all the time, make sure your dance costume looks exactly like the rest of your teams, and perform like you’ve never performed before.
