         A 3,400-year-old image of a person dancing—discovered in the Middle East—is proof that we, the inhabitantsof Earth, have been dancing for a very long time. From the first kick of a baby’s foot to a wedding dance, dancing isa part of our lives. Just the beat of our own heart can provide the rhythm for dancing, or we can dance to the soundsof a full orchestra. So, what is this thing called dance? According to Judith Jamison, a skilled practitioner of the artof the dance and artistic director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, “It is as close to God as you are goingto get without words.”
        One frequently-asked question about dancing is: why do people like to dance? The answers vary from personto person. When we dance, we express love, hate, joy, and sorrow. We celebrate birth, death, and everything inbetween. We dance not only for serious reasons, but for frivolous reasons too. We dance in prosperous times tocelebrate good fortune, but we do likewise in hard times: out of sadness, to attain peace, and, sometimes in anattempt to heal.
        “I remember a couple,” says Lester Hillier, owner of a dance studio in Davenport, Iowa. “One of their sons hadbeen killed. The grieving parents had a dance lesson scheduled the day after it happened. They insisted on cominganyway.” They practiced the steps they had learned. As the hour passed, the couple asked for one last dance. Andwhen it ended, the wife rested her head on her husband’s chest； he wrapped his arms around her shoulders. “If wejust sat at home, what would we do?”
