does dancing make you happy?

Dancing makes me happy because it is fun, I get good exercise and by the time I am done I am to exhausted to do anything but laugh at myself. Dancing is a nice activity that can be done with one or 201. It is very good for your health.

Dance can either be very therapeutic or extremely stressful, depending on the time and situation. The technical training, which is repetitive and at times monotonous, takes a lot out of you, especially when you have a bad day or just can't get something right. This is when it gets so competitive and you're always trying to be perfect. Same feeling with auditions or anything where you're completely conscious that you're being compared to those around you. That never has been a pleasant feeling to me, however, I love dance so much that I have always managed to see it as a means to an end to get where I want to go. All in all, dance has brought me the ultimate happiness in life. Just me alone in a big studio with music is total paradise as far as I am concerned. Performing is also something I cherish very much. The sense of accomplishment you get when you learn something newer and more difficult as well as the feeling it gives to my body when I am down and weary is incomparable to anything else I have ever experienced in life. I certainly would not trade it for anything.

well, i was put into classical dance since i was apparently too emotive and energetic. And now i am addicted to that dance style- it has actaully turned into my form of prayer since it is a temple dance. i have given quiet a lot of performances in it too but when i think of it i cannot resist the temptation of doing that particular swinging movement or try the grace it requires. it feels so much lighter and blissful. bUT I must say that i also get veyr down when things are not going on well. if i am not practicing sicne long i get frustrated and to take it all out, i dance like crazy, without caring for any particular dance style. i might even be jumping around on all kinds of music just to let it all out.
