Why do people dance? The urge springs from the same desire to express that motivates the other
arts, but the medium2 is the most accessible3—the human body. Dancing is in a sense “body
language.” We have all felt the need to express fear, sorrow, anger, love, and joy with gesture and
with movement. One can express an emotion in movement before it can be put into words and
also gesture feelings beyond the limits of words.
