When
I was 14 years old, my best friend {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (drag) me to an after-school dance
class, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I enjoyed so much that I have been dancing ever since. After
every dance class, however, I always have to stretch out my legs and back! It
feels like as much exercise as {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (go) to the gym—but dancing is not {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
(wide) considered to be a sport.
Many
dancers would argue that dancing is a sport, as it requires strong muscles and
impressive flexibility. No matter what style of dance you are participating in,
you will always be using all of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (you) muscles while dancing and this
can often be for several hours a day.
On {#blank#}6{#/blank#}
other hand, many people argue that dance is an art form. Dances often exhibit
emotion (情感), tell {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (story), etc. Dancing
to music is creative and visually appealing to the eyes and ears, just like
watching a play or a(n) {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (profession) band. The shining costumes, the
stage make-up and the big hairstyles are artistic and imaginative.
However,
whether you consider dance to be an art {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a sport, the important thing is
to enjoy it! Dancing is a great way {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) new friends and exercise!
