Dancing at a Young Age

             There are many different varieties of music and because of that there are many different styles of dancing.  Dancing is creative and can be used to express people's feelings, used in entertainment, in fitness and work, or just having fun.
              Going through childhood each parent invests in their children’s future and pays for lesson in dancing or possibly some type of sport or activity.  Many girls took ballet lessons when they were young and if they enjoyed that then their parents would have invested in more dance lessons and they would have explored more styles of dancing.  Those styles of dancing could include but are not limited to jazz, hip hop, and cheer dance.  Going through life there are more and more opportunities to use those dance lessons.  Some people have continued in music and dance later on in life because being introduced to music at a young age may have helped each person develop their own personality and likings for it. 
                In school there are many different activities in the performing arts and dance lessons at a young age could help a person get into the dance team, show choir, and possibly even the cheerleading team.  Even if a child didn’t pursue dance later on in life they could have chosen another activity involving music and other creative things.

                Dancing can be really hard at first and at a young age hand and eye coordination can be very tricky.  If a child was to take dance lessons many of the dance moves may be made simpler so children can learn and do it easier.  As people grow up though, the brain develops more and people are capable of doing more difficult things.  That is when dancing becomes more interesting and exciting.  Dancing can use most parts of the body and if chosen maybe only a few at all time; it all depends on what the dancer is trying to express.  Each different expression leads to a new style of dance and below this is a link of many different styles of dance that may be fascinating and be of interest to you.

                             If a person was to continue in the dancing profession or just likes to dance a lot there are many benefits that dancing provides to each person and being a professional dancer is even more beneficial.  Dancers have been known to be disciplined and have increased muscular strength. As I read through an article about music and dancing, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood institute commented that dancing also prevents heart disease and reduces stress and tension for the mind and body.  While dancing can be for fitness and possibly a profession, dancing can just be used to have fun and enjoy music.
