DANCING

What makes a good hobby? Hobbies should be fun, upbeat, and affordable for everyone. I realized that my hobby was dancing. Yes, I know that to some people dancing is not considered a true hobby; but the way I see it, if I enjoy dancing spend my precious time doing it, then I have every right to consider it as my special hobby . My hobby started only five years after I was born. My hobby is the fun but challenging life of dance. Right after I learned to walk, I began to dance around the house all the time.
Of course, being a little kid, I made up my own ways to dance. Dancing was a hobby that
I always will love. Dance is a category of art that can be old or modernized. From my knowledge, dance is worldwide, streaming through every country in some form or another. Everyone can dance in some way so it is easy to get started with this hobby. I was the first girl my parents had, so of course, my mother took the responsibility of my dancing over my father. In every school activity I always participate, and I won every competition. That was it took to start. From my experience, every dancers should started out by stretching so we would not pull any muscles. From my own experience, not stretching could be dangerous and it is also part of gradually getting flexible that will lead to becoming better at dancing. The point at which people started dancing cannot be identified in history. Dance is an art from that has been around for as long as people can remember; it is hard to define the actual start of dance. dance came about before the ability of people to speak or to communicate.
For example, when people go out for a good time, they usually migrate to the dance floor where they show affection by dancing with the opposite sex. When we look back at the history of dance, not many people can say definitively where dance
