Dance and Culture

There are many reasons to dance, such as for fun or fitness, some people dance for amateur or professional performance.

There are many dance styles, such as Ballet, Modern, Contemporary, Jazz, Tango, Quick step, Street dance, Disco, Breakdance and so on. All have developed from somewhere and have cultural reasons for emerging. 

Dance reflects culture, you only have to look into a local performance to grasp elements of the culture of that country. Some dance is integral to their culture, such as Kathak dance in India. This is an important classical Indian dance, which is taught from an early age, it is danced with precision and pride.
