an art form to be enjoyed by all, the performer and the audience
an expression of oneself through a variety of body movements
a way to discipline and motivate the mind and body
an exploration of mind and body with all its capabilities and limitations
a fun and energizing way to exercise and strengthen the body
not a sport and should not be competitive as everyone has an inner need for self expression without the restrictions and pressures that competitiveness brings
a wonderful way to boost self confidence and self esteem
