A World of Dance

I have been dancing since I was three and it has provided me with so many opportunities to meet new people and experience new things. Dancing has been a big part of different cultures for as long as anyone can remember. It has evolved and expanded into new forms and styles. Dance has also become a much more popular trend across the world. There is such a great number of styles of dance that pertain to different cultures, and yet those who participate in the art of dance, no matter what style, understand the unity of all of the individuals in the world that also participate. There is a sense of connection between everyone no matter where they are from. All of them have the same common goal: to spread their love of dance to others around the world. Whether it's ballet, hip-hop, swing, or tap, every dancer appreciates each style and is grateful to be a part of such a large, and continually growing, group of talented artists. Even those who have not taken a single dance class, can still participate and appreciate a global tradition. I encourage everyone to, at least some time in their life, try a style of dance. It's a fun and exciting way to meet new people and stay connected with cultures around the world.

  3. A long time ago I worked in the Dance Department at BYU. It was a fun place to be and I really appreciated the different kinds of dancing going on. The dance instructors were also fun people to work with and had an enthusiasm and verve for life not seen so much in other departments.
