Before there was the written word,there was the language of dance.Dance expresses love and hate,joy and sorrow,life and death,and everything else in between.
1 We dance from Florida to Alaska,from north to south and sea to sea.We dance at weddings,birthdays,office parties and just to fill the time.
“I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges,the owner of a dance studio in Iowa.“I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages.“Teaching dance is wonderful. 2 It’s great to watch them.For many of them,it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.”
3 “I can tell you about one young couple,” says Bridges.“They’re learning to do traditional dances.They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. 4 ”
So,do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better,calmer,healthier Andrea Hillier says,“Dance,like the pattern of a beating heart,is life.Even after all these years,I want to get better and better. 5 I find it hard to stop!Dancing reminds me I’m alive.”
A.So why do we dance
B.Dance in the US is everywhere.
C.My older students say it makes them feel young.
