Dance Distortion is often used to emphasize features of spiritual signification. There dancing depends on if they live and if there is dancing stuff there. It depends on if they like to dance as their favorite hobby. In conclusion I think that the dancing is just fine and needs to stay the way it is.


Languages More than 1000 languages were spoken in Africa. Some types of languages depend on where they live at. Some languages depend on how they say them and stuff like that.
