This research paper explores how dance has changed over time and what those changes say about our cultures, identities, and ways of expressing ourselves. It looks at how traditional dance has always been a meaningful way to pass down stories, values, and history through generations. These dances are more than just movement—they connect people to their roots and reflect what communities believe in and celebrate. At the same time, the paper shows how dance has grown and evolved, especially with the rise of the internet and social media. Platforms like TikTok and YouTube have made it easy for dancers from all over the world to learn from each other, share their styles, and mix different traditions. This has led to exciting new forms of dance that blend the old and the new in creative ways. By looking at both traditional and modern dance, the paper highlights how movement can be a powerful way to express identity, adapt to change, and bring people together. It shows that even though styles and trends may change, dance will always be an important part of human life, helping us tell our stories, connect with others, and celebrate both where we come from and where we’re headed.
