Introduction to the topic
Main question:
How does dancing benefit our communities and our culture?
Do we dance?
Jeske: No I don’t dance as a sport but I do like to dance sometimes in my free time. In the past I did follow dance classes, for a while actually, but then my dance studio stopped so I didn’t really had a choice.
Annabel: No I also don’t dance, but I did in in the past, but I find projects like this where I can dance very fun to do.
Yara: I don’t dance but I do like to do it when I am bored for example. I never really followed dance classes but I do like to do dance workouts or just dance when a good song comes up.
Maaike: I don’t dance but I think it will be fun to do with this project.
Nina: I don’t dance that often, but sometimes in my free time with friends. I don’t do dance as a sport but when I was younger I did!

Hypothesis
We think that dancing is good for your confidence. And it keeps you fit. It also helps with your loneliness because you dance with each other and it makes you happy. Dancing can also help your distraction.
We think there will be no big differences between the Netherlands and India because our answer is pretty general answer. But maybe when we dance we both use a different style.

Traditional Dutch dances:
Only a few dances are invented by the Dutch. Most of the Folk Dances are Scottish in origin.
A very traditional dance from the Netherlands is called the "klompendans", which means "clog dance" in English. This is not the type of dance that we as teenage girls do (this is hardly practiced anymore), but it is a typical Dutch dance.
Many young girls start their dancing career with classical ballet and jazz dance.
The Dutch are inventors of Hakken, which was mainly danced in the Hardcore techno and Gabber scene in the 1990s. Jumpen, which was invented in Belgium, developed further in the Netherlands.
