"To see me dance, is to hear my heart speaks..." - Hopi Indians -
Nowadays, dance attracts people a lot. It is fun to watch and to be learned. Even directors have made some films based on dance genres, such as Stomp The Yard, Black Swan, Step Up, Streetdance, BGirl, etc. Those films encourage kids, teenagers, even adults to learn how to dance.
Many genres of dance becoming popular these days. They are ballet, hip hop, breakdance, tango, ballroom, salsa, and many more. What I focus more here is hip hop, which is often called as Streetdance ! ;)
