What is dance?

Dance is when people move their bodies to music, like playing a game with steps and joy.

Dance is like jumping in puddles, you do it because it feels good, and it makes you happy. When you hear music, you might want to move your feet or shake your arms, just like how you might swing on a swing or run after a ball.

Imagine wearing a pair of shoes that you really love. Now imagine you're listening to your favorite song, maybe the one you tap your toes to when you’re in the car. That’s dance! It's like being the main character in a story where every step is part of the plot.

Sometimes, people dance together, like in a big group at a party, or even in a school play. They might be telling a story with their moves, just like how you use words to tell your friends about your day. Dancing can also help you feel calm or excited, depending on the music and the steps.

Dance is all around us, it’s in the way we move when we're happy, tired, or even pretending to be a robot!
