Dancing is a difficult, disciplined, and beautiful form of art. It requires strength and teaches correct body placement and gracefulness. This genre of dance allows one to express their emotions. It consists of movements of the body with poses. These poses demonstrate the balance of a part of the body. The forces that act on a dancer are: gravity (downwards), support from floor (upwards), and friction from floor (sideways). Friction is the force that resists relative motion between two bodies in contact. If dancer is motionless, then all forces acting on the body are zero. When a dancer's force is pushing upward from the floor to the foot, it is acting on the same vertical line as the force of gravity pulling downwards and the force of friction pulling outwards. The dancer's moment of inertia depends of the mass of the body and its distribution relative to the axis of rotation. "Physics is ballet in disguise."
