Anyone

 Anyone can dance. I truly beleive in this. From the time we are born, kicking our legs and hands, expression, rhythm and motion is a part of our lives. The beating of the heart and the way we breathe also follows this basic rhythm and movement. So dance is not something new for any of us. Its finding our own rhythm and moving our body synchronous to it. There are no bad dancers, but only bad listeners. Even silence can be the music for our dance. When we dance, we not only move our body, but also involve our minds, heart and finally infuse our very soul into the very being of the dance. So, why do most people hesitate to dance, and feel vulnerable in social events where dancing happens? Over the years, dancing has been made into something unattainable, elitist, . The simple pleasure of moving the body to a rhythm, exploring the emotions associated with the movement (strong, graceful, joyful etc) expresses different facets of who we are. When you dance your body releases endorphins. This is a chemical that trigger's positive energy and good vibes! It helps improve our emotional state and reduce our perception of pain. So basically, dancing is your cure for happiness!
