Best dancing performance I have ever seen
I have seen many live dancing performances. The best performance must be engaging. Whenever I hear the word ‘dance’ the performance that clicks in my mind is of passionate people who were just 14 or 15 years old.
It was an annual day of a school. The school works with an NGO. The NGO has organized a dance performance of children of seven and eight classes. The boys were well dressed. The theme of the lighting contains all colors. The colorful lights on the golden costume of the performers have created great effects. The flexible bodies of the children and their rhythmic movements showed that they were highly trained dancers. But that was not the case. They had done a lot of hard work to get themselves ready.
When the performance began the lights of the school auditorium were switched off. The children were lying on the stage in their golden costumes. The low music started and they all got up. The pace of the music was increasing slowly and the movements of the performers were also synchronized with the music. The steps performed by them were graceful. They were performing with such coordination that showed their teamwork. The choreography, light management and above all the lean and flexible bodies of the children made the performance heart-touching. All the viewers were shocked to see those little children performing such an act. Their performance made the audience to leave their seats and gave standing applause. The sound of ‘once more, once more’ was in the whole auditorium.
After the performance, a participant was asked about the training. He told me that the training was just one week and they are not professional dancers. It was shocking for me to know that they live in slums and study school in the morning. They did not have a proper place for dancing practice. What they have was an only skill and hard work which gave their performance a special place in the hearts of every viewer.
History of Dancing
The movement of the body in a rhythmic way is called dance. It is done usually on music and in a provided space to a dancer. The dancer expresses his ideas and emotions by releasing energy.

Skill and choreography are the two major parts of this activity. A good performance consists of both. One of the most basic purposes of dance is to express emotions.

These movements are performed to express powerful emotions. Dances can be performed on many events. There are many functions on which a welcoming dance for the audience makes them feel happy.
