Dance is…

Dance is something different for every person. Personal, fragile, carried in the soul through the years. For some, these are associations with youth and childhood. For others, it is a way to relax in the present.

Someone may think that the importance of dance in a person's life is greatly exaggerated. But this art dates back to ancient times and it has always been an integral part of humanity. Ancient Greek dances praised the gods, participated in the upbringing of children. Along with language and pictures, dance can show what is beautiful and what is ugly. The militant dance of the African tribe gave energy and set up for exploits on a par with Russian marching songs.

Someone said that dance is life, and he was right. Let's remember the famous saying: movement is life. And dance is movement. From a purely scientific point of view, the muscles of the body work in the dance, and the blood flow accelerates at a fast pace. This does not allow cholesterol plaques to linger in the body. Dancing people do not know what diseases of the cardiovascular system are, and they have never heard the word "physical inactivity" at all.

For some, dance is a cure for depression. This medicine is the purest, proven and reliable. Who among us has not noticed how quickly peppy music uplifts the mood? A surge of adrenaline, inspiration, energy. Dance makes it possible to break out of the gray everyday life, get away from everyday life and plunge into the rich world of sounds and rhythm. A slow dance relieves tension and helps to relax, a fast one charges with new strength. To look into your soul, to catch your own harmony and keep it - that's what dance can give.

For many, dance is a way to express themselves, their feelings and thoughts. Our vocabulary is rich and scarce at the same time. What, if not the body is capable of expressing the most vivid emotions? Is it possible to express in simple language what the heart screams? No. But dance makes it possible. Every curve of the body, every quivering vein in the tense arms and neck betrays something that language is unable to express.

Many people know that feeling of all-encompassing tenderness, when you want to dissolve in a person and tell him, show him everything you are experiencing right now. But again, nouns and adjectives give way to movements, and a slender figure in a flying dress speaks about everything without words.

For dancers, dance is a way of life and they cannot imagine themselves outside of it. Such people dance everywhere: in the subway, on the street, standing in front of the stove or bending over a wet rag. Headphones in your ears and go - no need to think about anything. The body, as a locator, conveys to the world what the melody gives. Real dance is sincerity. It is impossible to dance beautifully by simply memorizing the movements. Only in dance can fire and water coexist, good and evil, sincerity and lies can be combined. To recognize a person, you can look into his eyes, or you can see how he dances. It is impossible to lie in the dance, the true Self will always come to the fore, obscuring everything insignificant.

Dance is the language in which the truth is spoken. There are people who do not know how to talk, but sign language helps them to express many thoughts. They say that this is the language in which you can speak endlessly and not be afraid of being misunderstood. Dance can express everything: love, hatred, tenderness, indifference, pain, happiness, delight.
