Why people love to dance

According to experts at LiveScience, dancing goes back to our early ancestors, who used movement and rhythm to connect with each other. Before there were words for everything, dancing was a way to bond, celebrate, or even find comfort during tough times. People who were naturally good at moving to a beat may have had an advantage in building friendships and finding partners, which helped them survive and pass on their genes.

Scientists have also discovered that dancing isn’t just fun, it’s in our biology. A study in 2006 found that dancers often carry certain genes that make them better at social connections. They also tend to have higher levels of serotonin, the feel-good chemical in the brain that lifts mood and reduces stress.

This might explain why dancing feels so freeing and why watching someone dance with pure happiness, even in a random spot like next to an ATM, makes others smile too. Dance spreads joy, and it’s a reminder that movement is one of the simplest ways humans have always come together.

Speaking to Briefly News writer, Nerissa Naidoo, dance Jayshri Rangasamy discussed why some people add inanimate objects into their dances. She stated:

"People often incorporate inanimate objects into dancing—like pointing at or interacting with them—as a way to enhance storytelling, add humour or playfulness, engage the audience, or structure choreography.

"These gestures can help convey emotions, highlight symbolic meanings, or simply make the performance more dynamic and relatable. Whether in cultural dances, theatrical performances, or casual social settings, using objects creatively adds depth and personality to the movement," she explained.
