Introduction to Dance

Quote of the day:- "We dance for laughter, we dance for fears, we dance for madness, we dance for tears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams; we are the dancers we create the dreams."

This quote sums up for me the real reason why we dance, it is all about emotion and expressing yourself through movements. Throughout the next few weeks I will updating and informing everyone about different genres of dance that I am involved in. My first topic and most favourite is Cheerleading. Cheerleading is all about precision and tricks, this takes a great amount of concentration. It is my favourite style of dance because the songs are usually current, upbeat and vibrant. Of course with cheerleading you use pom poms and my dance school have recently bought new gold shiny pom poms that look great while we dance. (I have added a picture of these for you to see.) My cheerleading squad is called Dance Dynamics and you can search for us under CMDance on facebook. The squad consists of girls aged 15-24 and we meet every Thursday night for training which is similar to an intense workout though I do enjoy it as it keeps me fit and I have met lots of close friends through cheerleading.
