Some people believe that dancing can be of great benefit while not all of them consider it to be useful.
In my opinion, dancing does a lot of good for people. It develops willpower, competitive skills, helps to keep fit, makes a person more organized. Besides, it builds confidence and self- esteem and it's a good way to relieve stress. It is also a great possibility to improve your English while travelling and taking part in dance competitions.
However, some people find dancing harmful. Firstly, it takes a lot of energy and time. Dancers have to train all day long in order to achieve better results. Regular exercises make people really exhausted. Besides, dancers have to follow a diet not to be overweight and it can cause different diseases. It may result in anorexia or bulimia. Moreover, taking part in sport competitions makes a person unhappy when he loses that can lead to psychological problems. Contrary to it, I think dancing does more good than harm because while dancing, you can have fun and exercises at the same time.
To sum up, there are different points of view on this problem. As I see it, people should learn how to make the best use of it. But parents shouldn't make their children dance. It must be their own choice.
