Dance

Dance is an excellent form of physical exercise. There are many different kinds of dance. There is ballet, hip hop, contemporary, jazz, ballroom, and tap, to name a few.

Let’s begin with ballet. Ballet happens to be my personal favorite. Ballet first originated during the Italian Renaissance in the fifteenth century. In ballet, everyone has their own technique. There have been many famous ballerinas, throughout history. Here are a few, Anna Pavlova, Misty Copeland, Galina Ulanova, Darcey Bussell, Paloma Herrera, and Julie Kent. Out of all of these people, Misty Copeland is the person I admire the most. Here is why ballet is a great physical activity. Ballet take lots of strength. In order to do a lot of the positions in ballet, you must be strong. Your body is constantly moving.

Hip hop is another great from of dance for many reasons. In hip hop, you move very quickly. Hip hop is not only great cardio, it is also great for strengthening muscles. This goes for all dance, not just hip hop. Dance can relieve any stress from throughout you day. Dance definitely helps me relieve stress from any thing that I am worried about.

Contemporary is used with many different dances. It can be used with ballet too. Contemporary is a lot less strict than ballet. It can also be said as more of a freedom feel to it. Instead of classical like a lot of other dances, contemporary can be similar to hip hop. Contemporary keeps your heart rate higher. It also keeps you moving.

Jazz is a dance type that originated in the United States in the twentieth century. Jazz dance can be referred to vernacular, broadway, and/or theatrical jazz. Jazz is a smooth dance. There is also jazz music, which I am not much of a fan of. Just like any other dance, jazz keeps you moving.

Ballroom is another style of dance. There are multiple kinds of ballroom dances. Here are a few, waltz and tango. In the tango, you move at a pretty fast pace. And in the waltz, you move at a slower pace. Ballroom dancing can be a good dance style that get’s your heart rate up like any other kind of dance.

Tap dancing take coordination and focus due to how fast your feet move. Tap gives you a ton of exercise in the legs and feet. It keeps you moving. This means it also keeps your heart rate quite high.
