Dance is a form of art that has been around since ancient times.Its not just a hobby to some people but their passion and career. Dancers communicate through different dance forms
One such dance is Eco - dance. This is a form of dance that incorporates environmental awareness and sustainability practices into its movements and themes. It is a way for dancers to connect with nature, raise awareness about environmental issues, and promote eco-friendly behaviors through their art.
Eco-dance is guided by several key principles that distinguish it from traditional dance forms. These principles include a focus on sustainability, environmental awareness, and community engagement. Eco-dance practitioners strive to minimize their impact on the environment by using recycled materials, reducing energy consumption, and promoting eco-friendly practices in their performances and rehearsals.
People believe that sustainable living is a tough thing to accomplish and that its impossible but the thing is anything is possible if we make the change one step at a time. This for of dance expresses thoughts and concerns on our environment spreading the word on how to achieve this goal set. The goal i am talking about is SDG goal 15 “Life on land” where we should conserve our earth and all the resources that come with it.
Supporting this dance style and understanding its purpose is crucial for those who dont believe in traditional means of listening . For example in class when a teacher explains by reading the book word for word you may feel its boring as you already can refer to this at anytime.
But another teacher may us videos,pictural demonstration,experiments and other ways to help students visuavilize and understand. Being able to learn and follow instruction using the 1st method is fine and acceptable but all children especially learn and follow differently so this dance and music form is a great visual way to promote sustainable living
