Dancing-谈谈跳舞 Dancing



Dancing is a popular pastime to many people all over the world. Way back to past centuries, and even today, tribal
people engage in dancing as a form of worship or as a part of a
ceremony in a celebration. On such occasions, dancing can be
very solemn. In modern times, dancing appeals to different
people for different reasons.



Young people often include dancing in parties or at other
social gatherings.
It seems to be an incentive for them to
gather. They look forward to dancing into the night during
parties without feeling fatigue.



To the elderly, the steps in dancing are reduced with a
slower tempo in the music. They gather in community centers
to learn folk dance and, at the same time, to know one another
in such informal interactions.



Personally, I doubt the effectiveness of dancing as a major
role in keeping one's body healthy and in good shape. Activi-ties such as jogging, swimming and playing games are more
effective for attaining good health. They can burn off calories
in our bodies and develop our muscles. To me, there are more meaningful and effective ways to keep fit.
