Open topic #3: Dance

 An open topic I've decided today: Dance.

(a picture of me in a dance room-- sitting on a big bouncy ball taking a mini break at YMCA)

Types of dancing styles

   There are so many types of dance styles in the world. I'll just list a few examples: ballet, hip-hop, k-pop, tap dance, salsa, tango, just dance, line dance, and more. I think every country's dance style is unique and beautiful. It shows their history, cultural expressions, music, evolving, creativity, entertainment and enjoyment, for special occasions, etc. 

Effects dancing has on us 

   Dancing can impact one's physical and mental well-being. It can be used as a workout, social connection, reduce stress, express yourself, boost confidence, improve cognitive function and memory, coordination, creativity, joy, emotions released, and many more. I use dancing as a workout, making connections with others, joy, fun, and improving memory and coordination. 

Mine

   I don’t dance for a team or a group, but dancing is just a hobby of mine. I really enjoy it, as it’s a time to de-stress, not think about anything– just pour my soul and feelings into the music and dance. It’s like a two in one deal– it’s a workout for me, as well as it is a mental and emotional briefing moment to just have me. I listen to pop and k-pop songs, and I usually dance to k-pop ones often because they have choreographs. And occasionally to 1MILLION Dance Studio on YouTube. I also usually go on Instagram and YouTube, looking at reels/shorts of mini dances, so sometimes I’d watch it, learn, and master it.
