People equate art with paintings and sketches. What they do not realize is that art is a medium for people to express their imaginative minds through their talents; this literature will show you a form of art by using your body, dancing. This art has been passed down through generations, generating attractive and meaningful motions by reacting to music.
Egyptians invented dancing 4000 years ago to entertain their guests. It has also been utilized as a religious gesture in India; each country has its own unique dances called traditional dances. Many years have gone, and dance has evolved and been developed because of years of studying new techniques, new ways to express the art, and spreading it around the world. Dancing is so diverse that it is difficult to narrow it down to just one type: Locking, Ballet, Folk, Tap dance, Ballroom, Contemporary, Hip-hop, Jazz, and many more forms of dancing are just a few examples.. Dancers from all around the world display their talents on television, in dance contests, at festivals, and at other events. This enables dancers to study the dances of each nation and incorporate them into their choreographies. Choreographies are a sequence of dance movements that is be organized; it is used with a variety of methods, attitudes, and emotions, and it is synced to the rhythms of the music.
Jazz dance is the most popular, mixing aspects of ballet, contemporary, tap, hip-hop, African dance, and other genres. It eventually developed its own style, which not only adhered to its current rhythms, sounds, and processes, but also encouraged uniqueness, spontaneous dancing, free flow dancing, and the exhibition of dancers' skills. It's fusion music that's also creative and lively. Jazz dance is an American art form that has been affected by influences from all over the world.
Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop", an American singer-songwriter and dancer, undoubtedly popularized dancing throughout the world. Even to this day, his dancing has had a huge influence on most dancers, with professors at large art universities studying his moves and modifying them into their own style. Michael was well known for his unique dance dance style and the most famous dance move, the infamous "Moonwalk." Dancing is more popular than ever in this generation, with dancers inventing new dance craze that people of all ages may follow. MJ started the system of singing while dancing, it is very hard to do with all the difficult moves despite all of that he still had a stable voice, and now the system he started is being popularized due to the major ascent of KPOP.
For me, dancing on stage was a dream. My parents regularly took me to a music festival in our city, there were magic, singing, comedy performances, and dance. Dance competitions are popular in the Philippines, and they've always been present at large events. I was in awe once when I watched a group of dancers moving in harmony, making images with their bodies, and enjoying while they perform; it was a lovely sight to see. It made me realize that one day I, too, want to perform on stage while having fun and show to the world my dance.
People find dancing difficult since there is so much to learn, but they should know that learning to dance is a personal challenge, a new passion, and a source of inspiration that helps you increase your self-esteem through a sense of accomplishment of gaining a new skill. Learning to dance introduces you to a new world in which you may develop new talent while still having fun; there is no limit to dancing; even a tiny wiggle to music can be considered dancing.
