Dance is such a beautiful form of self-expression that liberates one from the everyday hassles of life. When you start dancing, it's so easy to lose yourself in the music and let it take over your entire body. While it is a liberating experience, dance also teaches us a lot of important lessons. The most important lesson, I believe, is perseverance. It takes years of failures and successes before dancers realise their goals and dreams.

Dance also teaches us discipline and teamwork; learning how to work in a group or with a partner, and understanding each others' strengths and limitations. By its very nature, dance is a creative art form and exploring new dance forms, cultures, and music helps to nurture your creativity. One of the most important things you can learn from dance is self-confidence. It's the biggest waste of time wondering what people think about you. Always remember that everyone is dancing for themselves. They are all there to have fun, improve a skill, or learn something new. They are too busy watching themselves, so you should never worry about looking silly, or not dancing well. Once you make peace with this, you'll learn to enjoy dance so much more, and the increase in confidence will actually make you a better dancer.
