Why Dance?

"Dance is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is no mere translation or abstraction from life, it is life itself." (Havelock Ellis 1895-1939).

People of all walks of life and ages have the desire to communicate through movement; dancing satisfies this desire. Learning the correct steps is of course an important part of dancing. To improve one's dancing, it is important to become aware of other basic fundamentals associated with the dance. Practicing style rhythm, social proceedure, body carriage and posture are all part of learning to dance effectively.
