I always have been admiring professional dancers. Watching them makes me feel excited and sometimes relaxed. I also sometimes dance even though I am not a good dancer. People like to dance and it doesn't matter if you are a good dancer or not. It is very entertaining for everyone and can help people to show their emotions. In that way, dancing somehow shows national characters and develops one's culture. so I believe dancing plays an important role in a culture.
When we think about korean dance, especially 'a-ri-rang' it's dance is really slow and shows sad emotions. People say that it is because of the sad korean history. People got hurt for a very long time due to lots of wars include korean war. This sad history affected people and they expressed their feeling by dancing. However some other countries like brazil or africa, their dancing is very fast and passionate. and I believe that shows their personalities and their nature. This is one of the reasons why dancing is important. It shows the history of people's emotions.
Sometimes dancing is used as therapy for sick people especially who are suffering from mental diseases or great depressions. As they dance they can get rid of their anger or things that are bothering them. It is just like when you feel better after tell your bad situation to others. Showing emotion is very important and this can help people to have better life. People enjoy dancing and that cures people at the same time. It might be better than any other activities to cure their sick mind.
Just like art or music, dancing also can help to develop the level of the culture. People usually think dancing is not so important compare to art or music. However, when you look around you will see how important the dancing is. At the party or a wedding, there are music and people dance. Some people are shy about dancing with people and they refuse to do but once you start you always have fun. Kid, they don't afraid dancing in front of people and when they grow up they don't do that anymore. It's just like kid are very creative but then as they get older, they lose the ability. Since we are dying for creativity these days, I think we should keep dancing so we can make our culture more abundant.
Everyone is a dancer. Some people just forgot how to do it. Dancing is very goo for in many ways. It helps people to cure their mind by showing their emotions. Also it helps people to relax. We can see the old times by looking at a dance our ancestors had. For these reasons, I believe dancing plays an important role in a culture. |
