WESTERN DANCE GAINS IMPORTANCE IN GOA - DIONNE


The state of Goa is rich in culture and heritage, and art - especially performing art in Goa - in a unique feature of the state. Though all these forms fall under the wide classification of dance, drama and music, yet the Dance in Goa has a distinct Goan flavor and can be easily be distinguished from those of the other states. Dance is a type of art that generally involves movement of the body, often rhythmic and to music. It is performed in many cultures as a form of emotional expression, social interaction, or exercise, in a spiritual or performance setting, and is sometimes used to express ideas or tell a story.
Many youngsters have deviated from their studies to cultivate their passion for dance.The famous dance sports of Goa by Dr.Flossy and Martin trains students wherein it sets the mark for these youth as they discover their talent .Dr. Martin makes every effort to learn, practice and teach with perfection authentic ballroom dancing, all this between his work and his family. He hopes that in future Goans will dance the International Style of ballroom, the authentic ballroom and that Goa will always be National champions. The Sports Authority of Goa needs to recognize this achievement and encourage team Goa financially .We also have Jason and Sylvia ,the x-tremers dancing schools through which new choreographers emerge. Lately schools too have been training their students to evolve as budding artists and even in Indian styles .Many students go for regular classes and participate in various competitions within the state and all India .Many have brought laurels to our little state and rising to the level of the West in Ballroom,Chacha-cha,Tango,Jive,Salsa. Of late Goa Trance has also made an impact in the international music circles. The music is so much in demand in parties that they are now called the trance parties. 

The most significant part about the Dance in Goa is the fact that it colorfully illustrates the unity in diversity of Goan heritage
