Dancing
Dancing is moving to
music. People all around the world love to dance. You
can dance by moving in whatever way the music makes you
feel. Or you can do one of the many special kinds of dance,
such as tap dancing, square dancing, or ballet. Tap dancers
have flat pieces of metal, called taps, on the bottoms of their
shoes. They quickly move their feet, and the metal taps make
tap-taping noises as they dance.
Square dancing is done when
men and women stand in a square and listen to a
"caller." A "caller" is a person who calls out
what to do next.
Ballet can tell a
story. In a ballet, there is music and no words.
An orchestra usually plays the music. The dancers tell a
story through the way they move.
Ballet dancers have to
practice for years to learn all they need to know. They work
very hard and have very strong legs. They dance on the tips
of their toes and spin around and around.
