Dancing allows the author to express emotions in a way that words cannot. It feels liberating to let emotions flow freely through dance without restraint. Dancing is also a way for the author to connect with others and meet new people. Modern dance originated in the early 20th century as dancers rebelled against the rigid structure of ballet by favoring a more freeform style of self-expression. Jazz dancing became popular through media and is energetic, incorporating unique moves and fancy footwork. Hip hop evolved from breakdancing and hip hop culture, consisting of standing moves to hip hop music.
