Harder - Dancing is the act of moving the body in rhythm, usually in time to music. It seems natural for people to express themselves through rhythmic movement. Young children jump up and down when they are excited and sway gently when content or at rest. Dancing is both an art form and a form of recreation. Dance as art may tell a story, set a mood, or express an emotion.
Some dances consist of symbolic gestures that tell a story completely through movement.
As recreation, dancing has long been a people's source of fun, relaxation, and companionship. In earlier times, square dances gave families a welcome chance to socialize. Today dancing at a party or other gathering remains a popular way for people to enjoy themselves and to make new friends.
