Summary
Put on your dancing shoes as Tim and Moby introduce you to one of the most basic forms of human expression--dance! In this BrainPOP movie, you’ll learn what dance is and how everyday movements can become extraordinary when set to music. Find out some of the reasons people dance, including a few you’ve probably never thought about. Discover some of the ways that the human body can move, as well as what elements are involved in dance. Plus, you’ll learn about the two categories most dances can be split into, and see a few examples of each. We can’t teach you the steps, but you just might want to get on your feet!
