Dancing

Most people want to be the best in what they do. There are a lot of different fields to choose from. One of the most common fields is performing arts. Some people find performing arts as an amazing way to express themselves.

Dancing is a performing art where people get to express how they feel through their body movements. Dancers join different competitions not only to enjoy what they do and express themselves but also to show that they can be the best in what they do. Hearing your name announced as the winner and receiving a medal as a sign of victory is one of the best feelings in the world for most performers. Besides, nothing can ever compare to the feeling of having people to support you whether you win or lose. Having them to trust and support you all the way is what actually makes you feel that you are the best in what you do.
