Integration by sports/dancing
lea ni, 00:21h
Hey guys!
To also get some information about the experiences people made with the topic "Integration by sports", Lea and I interviewed a member of a dance group. After talking to us she discussed our questions with her team and later accorded us the answers.
The girl named Rita from the dance group "Funky Gaga's" from SG Hankenberge Wellendorf told us, that they present a certain kind of Show Dance mixed with HipHop and that also stage performances are part of their programm.
We asked who the members of the group are and she answered, that it is an all female group consisting of eighteen girls from 15 to 25.
For our topic we needed to know wether there are any members with a migration background and we got to know, that five Russians belong to the group.
We requested Rita that she asks the other members if they think, that integration by sports is possible.
She told us that most of them think, that only team sports contain integration because people have to interact with each other. Practicing a sport without any other persons like jogging, do not contain such direct interaction.
The girls said that if people share a predilection, as for example for dancing, they often start to sympathize with each other and thereby integration automatically takes place insofar people with different nationalities or are included.
The girls explained, that they think that above everything, dancing integrates more than anything else, because the music is also not always in everybody's mother tongue. Therefore, the melody and the rhythm are important for the dancing but less for the origin of every single person.
Particuarly, the girls of their dance group get along with each other so well they said, because they also meet in their free time and meanwhile they feel like a family, where the origin does not matter.
So, what do you think about these girls' point of view? I think their arguments are very convincing and they are proofs of the fact, that dancing can help integrating people into a community. Even at the most discos, there is music for everyone, different styles of music on different dancefloors, so you can forget about where you come from because it does not even matter anymore!
Write down your opinion and thoughts about this topic in the comments down below! I look forward to read them as soon as possible.
Yours Jana

Great example for integration. Integrating by living out one's passion with members of the society with a different background. Sport really can help to communicate, also i like the argumentation that the family origin doesn't matter when dancing because everyone feels equal.
Great job :)
Great job :)

thanks Paul :)
I think nearly everyone likes music and the cultural globalization enables listening to different music genres.
So if for example a refugee becomes homesick, he's able to listen to music from his homecountry via internet and share this different kind of music and also dancing with other people.

music and dancing is the language, that everyone on the world understand
Dancing is a very good example, for integration!
You don't need any knowings about music or dance everyone can feel it. We all are born with a sense of rhythm.
Just 'shut up and dance with me' ;)

I agree with you Martin. :D
It's funny that you use a quotation from a song, but it fits to the topic!

Connection without words
I would like to add a nice story of one of my friends to support the statement that dancing is a language, which everybody can understand.
He is a Syrian refugee who now lives in germany.
In his motherland he never really danced but during his long escape he came in contanct with many different dancers which helped him to discover his passion for dancing.
Dancing helped him to forget the everyday life in the camp (Bramsche/Hesepe) and gave him opportunity to share his experiences with others without words.
Here the link to his story: http://m.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article149375099/Ein-Syrer-heilt-sein-Kriegstrauma-mit-modernem-Tanz.html
