Dance is one of the three main performing arts of antiquity, alongside theater and music. In ancient Egypt, she honored the god Osiris. In Greece, it was part of the Olympic Games. In today's era, it exists as an artistic manifestation, fun, entertainment, physical activity and is present on the stage, on the street, in the gym or at home, as a way of expressing feelings and, to a certain extent, maintaining the silhouette.
It is so important and essential for the human being that next Friday is celebrated International Dance Day, a date established by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) through the International Dance Committee ( CID) in 1982. The choice refers to the date of birth of the teacher, dancer and essayist Jean-Georges Noverre (April 29, 1727), considered master of the French ballet.
Dance has different languages and causes diverse effects and sensations. Without sticking to the professional, it has the power to boost self-esteem, bring people together, spark novels, stimulate the brain, tone, shape and shape the body, help reduce stress and anxiety. It also increases blood capacity and does good to the heart, fights depression and, best, is democratic, accepts people of all ages and races.

"She brings people closer together. For couples, it makes it possible to rescue the relationship, defines the roles of man and woman, as well as work on posture and balance. "He emphasizes that another benefit is music," which is therapeutic, relaxes and causes problems to be forgotten, since the focus will be on movement. The dance becomes a meeting point for friends to gather, talk and dance. "
Welbert, who owns the Café con Dança, a space that combines dance and gastronomy, says that combination is perfect, since it arouses an interest in the other. "A rare feat and a new concept. In space, we have more than 33 rhythms of ballroom dancing. Among the most common are samba, bolero, forró, zouk, salsa, lindy hop, tango, waltz and more. "He reveals that despite being always a female desire, men are increasingly present. "They adhere, especially, to please their girlfriends."
