back to my personal page This source given an explanantion of various reasons to dance. The points said in this article are explaining how demanding dance really is. Dance is one of the top 5 physical activities out of the 60 that have been studied. Every aspect or part of the body is strengthened through different kinds of dances and movement. Many people think that dance is just a simple and fun activity. It is fun; but it is one of the most energy-consuming and rigorous physical activities. A gap in this website was that they did not say what other physical activities or sports they compared dance to and what were the other four in the top five. This website states that dance is a skill for life, but it makes me wonder...are there certain kinds of people with a natural talent for dance and why? I also wonder what different muscle groups get defined in different dance styles, which relates to dance therapy. This information will most likely be presented in a diary entry.

It explains how dance is a stress reliever and a way for people to express themselves. In my project, I will explain how it is not shown that dance therapy cures illnesses, but that it does increase self-esteem and reduce stress through bodily movement. What I want to know is, is there anyway that it does help with a patient's sickness and how does dance therapy affect different people? This information may be portrayed in a news article.

 * Source 4: (wlv.openrepository,com)**

This source explains how the ADTA (American Dance Therapy Association) defines dance therapy. It also discusses how dance therapy came about and who exactly "created" the idea of dance as a therapy. They discuss how rather than a verbal apprach for therapy, they also need a non-verbal approach for those uncomfortable with speaking and expressing themselves. I want to inform people what dance therapy actually does and how it came about. I want to portray how effective dance therapy has been on many people. I also want to show that some people always think verbal approaches are the best for people, when really non-verbal could benefit the most. I want to know if some people view dance therapy different from others. I also want to know how different states and cultures view dance therapy and how we can make it more world-known. This information could maybe be shown on a timeline.
