As children, we dance to all kinds of music, bouncing up and down wiggling our hips, just having fun.
As we get older, some of us try to perfect our dance moves, trying to make it look more like we know how to dance.
There are many different healthy benefits to dancing. It is a great social time for many, great exercise while having fun and learning a new activity.
