Dance
Dance is the expression of the intellect, emotions, and the body using energy, shapes, patterns, actions, and gestures-aesthetically. Personal creativity and imagination develop along with the mental skills of concentration, listening, and timing. Dancers are students of nonverbal communication through the art of rhythmic bodily movement. Practice, improvement, discipline and precision enhance personal confidence. Performance in a group fosters intense cooperation and interpersonal skills. Dance has a long history as an independent art form that records and celebrates historical, cultural and social perspectives.
