Are you the kind of person who likes to dance with music? It’s a natural thing. Even little children start jumping up and down when they hear music.

Scientists say that animals dance, too. But their dancing is different. The “dances” of animals send messages to other animals. But when people dance, they express feelings about life and love.

Dances are good for you in many ways. For one thing, dancing is good for you. It makes your heart work and makes you breathe fast. It also makes you use your arms and your legs. If you go dancing often, you can keep fit. You may feel very tired after dancing, but you’ll probably also feel relaxed and happy. This is another important point about dancing. It gives you a chance to express your feelings. And feel better about yourself. If you are angry or upset about something, dancing helps those feelings go away.

And 　　　　　　 , it is a social activity. Some dances are for couples and some are for groups. But all kinds of dances give you a chance to meet new people or to do something enjoyable with friends.
