The Dance Industry Blossom's


Dance Industry Trends

The records of dance history date back to the beginning of time. People used dance for celebration, worship, and art. People were able to dance in joy, sadness, and as a form of respect. As time progressed, dancing began to structure. The Greek performances evolved into Russian and French techniques, for classic ballet. The silhouette and timeless beauty of a ballerina carried on an ethereal standard, which normal people could not obtain.
Ballet opened doors for jazz, modern, tap, and musical theatre. These techniques set world wide artistic standards. Many people today still take dance classes. The beautiful part of movement is the ability to maintain classic beauty and advanced technology. The classics involve ballroom dance and street hip-hop. The newer styles open up the industry.
With the many forms of dance people are reliving the childhood dream. Ballet and jazz have morphed into aerobic workouts. Dance videos sweep the nation with moves that are fun and burn calories. Internet research shows dancefitness.com has multiple articles on dance and nutrition. The featured articles share nutrition and dance information. There are also connected sites on where to find classes, definitions, and specific diets that professionals have shared. Dance fitness features explain choreography and help advertise cardiovascular health all over the United States.
I have been dancing amateur and professionally for over 20 years. The best aerobic work out is Zumba. This Latin Dance fitness craze recently exploded over the last year. If done correctly, Zumba can burn up to 1000 calories in one class. The mixture of salsa, tango, merengue, and hip-hop moves take aerobics to the top level. Zumba is just one example of dance workouts. The creator Les Mills has also used experience to “body jam, body vive,” and many other classes. These sessions incorporate yoga techniques and hip-hop moves. There are new and fun ways to incorporate fitness. The dance industry has blossomed thanks to all of the new aerobic classes.
