“Dancing is as old as love” — Lucian

Since people first began to stand upright, we have danced; for joy, for sadness, for celebration, for ritual, for fun, for company, for love, for anger, for all kinds of reasons. Every emotion we feel, every experience we live, expresses itself in movement. A victorious athlete dances in triumph, warriors build up courage and terrify their enemies with war dances, a mother cradling her baby will gently rock from side to side, lovers or friends throw their arms about each other, expressing their delight. We react to music with movement, toes or fingers tapping instinctively to the rhythm, body swaying to the beat. You can’t ignore it – we’re hard-wired to dance. It’s in our DNA. Dance runs all through our lives, a basic, essential and wonderful fact of existence.Add custom text here or remove it
