“It's nice to see you... nice!” This is one of the most recognizable quotes in the world from “Strictly Come Dancing” host legend Sir Bruce Forsyth. The Saturday night show brings together around ten million viewers to ignore what's going on around them for that hour and a half. The TV show has also made male dancing socially acceptable due to the masculine role they play. Who could forget one of Stctly's most memorable moments when John Sergeant marches firmly onto the stage dragging his partner Kristina Rihanoff behind him like a true bullfighter. It rigorously demonstrated that dance has evolved in skill, glamor and passion. Dance is integral and part of every human being, so why can't we use this method of expression effectively in school? The dance left behind no physical artifacts that clearly resemble stone tools to determine when it was created. Therefore, it is impossible to say when dance became part of human culture. It is suggested that celebratory ceremonies, rituals, and entertainments have been formed from archaeological evidence since the earliest human civilizations. An example is the Egyptian tomb painting of dancing figures from 3300 BC. One of the earliest uses of dance may have been myths. Before the invention of written languages, dance was one of the methods of transmitting information from one generation to another. Since dance was used to tell stories, it is very appropriate to incorporate it into schools as all children love stories. Dance was also used to show feelings. An example of a ritual dance still performed today is the rain dance. Native American tribes wear unique turquoise headdresses and clothing resembling wind and rain to perform the dance. The…middle of paper…ends up with us helping to make the UK the twenty-third fattest country in the world. Obesity is a major problem in Scotland, with around 64% of people aged 16 and over being overweight or obese in 2012; with 27% falling into the latter category. The solution is simple. If dance became part of everyday school life in all schools in Scotland it would help reduce these terrifying statistics, but in a fun way by encouraging pupils to take part. For example, the dance style “hip hop” mainly refers to street dancing. It involves various techniques such as “popping”, “locking” and “breaking”. This style of dance is very loose and free as there is no fixed formula to perform it unlike most academic subjects. This style taught in schools across Scotland would be appropriate as on average it burns six calories per minute as it is very lively.
