Who or what was the reason for the beginning of dance life.

I started dancing with the help of my mother when I was a child. But at conscious age, I continued my dancing path in different teams, and groups where my mentors guided me, they spread love in me for dancing different styles, for self-development in the dancing world and for teaching in the future.
 
Advice for a beginner dancer:
Never say to yourself that you can’t, just keep doing what you like.
 
Motto in life: Always keep developing yourself!
