Answer preview
Amongst the many ways of expressing joy and jubilation in public is dancing. Dance allows a person to exhibit inner feelings of happiness even without the use of words or any langue. Dancing provides an easy way of attracting people towards certain celebration and joining the effort to celebrate, hence, it is considered a means of expressions. Dance can also be referred to as a way of communicating because it is a form of non-verbal language. Through artistic dances, various messages are communicated to different audiences worldwide (Pusnik 6). However, dancing comes with its own ways of separation, causing more division in society than it has ever been before.
