Two activities that I’ve played or enjoyed are dancing and parkour. How are they the same? Well it is all about expressing your feelings, but just in a different forms and styles. It is the feelings that people cannot say in words. They just have to do it by moving their body.

Parkour and dancing are the same because people show their feeling while doing it. What it’s called is “Art in Motion” which means that people is creating art by moving, not by drawing. Both activities how thousand of moves that can develop through a person. There is a beauty in both sports/activities. However there is something different about them.

How they are different is that both if these activities are two different styles/forms. Dancing is more about music; for example when the music is on your body just move by it self. There are many styles in dancing such as popping, locking, robotic, choreography, jazz, modern, tap, and finally the coolest style of all, it’s called breakdance. Unlike dancing parkour is such a different way to express your feelings. Parkour is all about getting from point A to point B in a cool way, passing through many obstacles and object so you can do flips, jump, and run. There are thousands of moves to learn, you can also create your own move while doing parkour. Both sports/activities are fun, creative, and quite dangerous if you overdo it.

In conclusion, this shows how dancing and parkour are different in my own experience. It is all about expressing the way that you feel inside your body. Just in a different styles and forms.
