Performance dance

Performance dance is when people move their bodies in a very special and creative way to tell a story or express feelings. It is like when you pretend to be a princess or a superhero and you run and twirl around your room. But performance dance is more organized and planned out to make sure everyone is moving together in a way that looks really cool and beautiful.

Dancers practice a lot to get really good at their moves and they also have to work together as a team to make sure their dance goes well. They might also wear special costumes and use props to make their dance look even more amazing.

There are many different types of performance dance like ballet, jazz, tap or hip hop. Each type has its own special moves and style. You might have even seen performance dance in movies or on TV shows.

When people watch performance dance, they can feel many different emotions like happy or sad, excited or scared. It can be really fun to watch and even more fun to be a part of!
