DANCING

Today, I want to talk about my passion, dancing. I am taking Cuban salsa classes in Atlanta on Sundays, and I am also teaching people how to dance different types of Latin music. It is awesome!!!

Dancing is a lot more than just pretty movements to me. It is a way to express myself and communicate with others. It is initialing a dialogue in which words are unnecessary. Dancing means expressing emotions with every part of my body. Ever since I was little, dancing has always been my favorite sport. I come from a Latin country, Colombia. We are one of the countries where dancing is very popular, and it is part of the culture. Being Latina taught me the importance of knowing my body through dance and help me feel the harmony in my body when I hear the music. Dancing is a way to express my feelings and to keep myself active.

Dancing is my passion. Could it be the control of the dancer’s body to executive each move flawlessly that captivates me? Or could it be the look on the dancers’ faces that say they are loving what they are doing? Either way, I absolutely love to dance. It brings such joy to see how the whole body is mixed with sensuality and determination. Dancing embodies passion, grace, and poise. Dancing is a way to communicate with everyone; it does not matter what language they speak or how old they are. It is a way to cross barriers and touch souls. Also, dancing is a way to keep in touch with our culture, pass down our culture’s heritage, and unite people from different ethnicities who share the same passion for dance.

Dancing has been a part of human history since the earliest records of human life. It has been used as a form of art for centuries. Over time, dancing has become an entertainment and an artistic spectacle. Today, dancing is one of the main entertainments for people around the world. Also, it is one of the excuses that people used to lose weight and stay physically and mentally healthy.

Dancing has taught me teamwork and determination. In order to move on, I have to be open-minded and cooperate with people around me. Also, I have to be determined to move on and reach the end. Without determination, it is possible to slack off and interrupt the creative process of the choreography. Dancing for me, it is the expression that connects the body with the mind to create harmonious movements filled with passion and glamour. Some of the qualities that I find in dancing is that help me release tension, remain healthy, improve my coordination, balance, and body rhythm. Besides these qualities, dancing is a way to have fun and escape from my daily routine.
