My name is Emma, and my favorite hobby is dancing. There are many types of dancing including Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Flamingo, Hip-Hop, Tango, Cha Cha, and many more. I prefer Jazz and Hip-hop. When you dance, you move your body. You gain flexibility and muscle, from holding hard positions. Many people enjoy watching dance, including myself. One of the reasons why, is because there are many types and it is fun to see a variety of different ways that people dance.
Many dances are cultural. And come from certain nationalities or countries. Native American’s used to dance at Pow Wows. Which were like parties to celebrate your nationalities. At them people would dance, eat, and have fun with others of their nationality or culture. Dancing is a fun way to let loose and be yourself. You can Improvise (make things up as you go) or go off of a list of moves, or an already learned dance. I like to improvise. I have been dancing since I was three or four, and I have learned many types as well. Many Americans like to dance also, it has become very popular here, and in other countries.
