I think that dancing must be one of the oldest forms of entertainment.
Yes. Even the most primitive societies had some forms of dance.
Originally, dance was to celebrate some event or occasion.
Today, we do not need a reason, we dance for pleasure.
What kind of dancing do you like?
I think it can best be described as ball room dancing.
Oh, you mean the formal sort of dancing with a partner?
Yes, the kind that dances to beautiful music.
What about disco dancing? do you like that?
No. It is too noisy and crowded in discos, and I am not sure how to do it.
It’s easy. You just relax and do what ever the music makes you feel like doing.
I think I prefer more structured dancing. I think it is more skillful.
Maybe. But disco dancing is easier and more fun, I think.
It’s also more tiring.
True. Many people use it as a form of exercise.
