Dance has been on the earth forever. Dance is also a passion for many people. You do not have to take a dance class or be taught by someone to know how to dance. All you have to do is know that you will probably make a fool of yourself, but you will have fun while you are dancing. Dancing helps you loss track of time and just enjoy yourself.
Dance was a ritual for many native tribes. When someone died they would dance so that they would no longer grieve. The people rejoiced because they wanted their loved ones to have a peaceful afterlife.
No one can really be sure of when dance started or who started dancing because it has been around for a long time. In bible times at every wedding there would be laughter and dancing. Dancing was thought of as a happy celebration. That is why people danced, to rejoice with the new bride and groom.
