Dancing your culture

Dancig your culture: dance as a tool to overcome social anxiety, increase self-esteem and self-concept.

The basic idea is to use dance as a tool to communicate emotions and feelings in a non-verbal way, to overcome shyness, to increase self-esteem and self-awareness, to overcome social encountersanxiety and to foster with others. Dance is communication, it is the human need to share our ideas and emotions. It is about understanding an idea and a state of mind and sharing feelings with another, which is why dance is also empathy. It develops the ability to put oneself in the other person's shoes, to understand the world around us, to observe body language with a unique insight. In addition, dancing is an artistic expression based on non-verbal language and is an excellent tool for psychological well-being that is useful for anxietyandactingovercoming fatigue, on an individual, relational and social level. On a biological level, dance encourages the production of endorphins that help us find well-being; it helps us better manage our emotions and the events we experience; it improves self-esteem,
helps overcome shyness through relationships with others and teaches us to set goals and reach them gradually. Finally, dance is an expression common to all cultures, used as an act of aggregation and celebration, a joyful manifestation of one's cult, a cathartic tool, but also a perennial and innate human need.
