Dance influences the nation

Over time, the popularity of dance has increased greatly. This is true because of quite a few reasons. For starters, ninety-nine percent of all households in the U.S. own at least one television set, which means most, if not all, of that percent watches television at some point in time.

New shows catch the interest of those who watch cable daily or weekly. These shows include dance series such as “So You Think You Can Dance,” “America’s Best Dance Crew,” “Dancing with the Stars,” and sometimes “America’s Got Talent.” All of these are aimed at different age groups but are enjoyed by all.

Another example of the increase in knowledge of dance is being friends with a dancer. Many people are influenced by their peers and hear of the types of dances their fellow peers participate in.

Also, dance is a great way to stay in shape. It gets you moving and helps you to maintain a rhythm. Ballet is considered to be the hardest class to take. It builds up muscles, flexibility, and balance. Other kinds of dances include Hip-Hop, Jazz, Musical Theater, Lyrical, Tap, etc. The styles also vary in different countries.

Dance has become well-known to many. More and more people talk about it, watch it, or join in on it. No matter how hard people may try, dance will never die.
