“Dance through the Decades”

➔ Dance is a form of art and for many decades has been a way for people to express
themselves from the music to the culture and the history behind it.

➔ People were always developing new dance styles to demonstrate the way they were feeling
about the economy, racial issues, and politics.

➔ Dance was also the joining force between races and cultures across the globe because as
long as the music was good and fun to dance, it did not matter who made the music or
taught the dance.

➔ It was a time for people to take a break from the stress of the world and have fun with
friends and family.

➔ From the flapper era to the disco, dance has evolved and changed tremendously
throughout the decades.
