Why is dancing an easy way to explain complicated feelings? How can self-expression be used as a tool for helping or healing?

Dancing for Angel is an escape from all the pain. It can help her express herself and forget about all her abuse. Dancing is a natural talent Angel has. When she dances she receives proper encouragement and praise from her instructors, Gerald, and even Monique. Dancing is a good way for Angel to escape her realities, when she dances all alone it’s like she doesn’t live in the apartment with an abusive father. The music flows so naturally through her. When she expresses herself she can totally forget about Jordan and completely focus on training for dance. On page 60, it shows how even at a young age, Angel is such a good dancer. She even forgets about everyone else. It also shows how happy dancing makes Angel.
