Tae Kwon Do Dance
Even though martial arts were developed for fighting and defense, the movements that students learn in class are beautiful when executed as a pattern. Aside from being athletic, the patterns are very lyrical and can be compared to dance. So, if you have a child who is interested in both dance and martial arts, you might find that they are able to satisfy both of their desires in a Tae Kwon Do class.
If you put a group of students together in typical lines to perform a specific pattern and add music, it looks like asian inspired line dancing. If you want to see what we mean, check out this YouTube video below (skip to 0:50 seconds if you want to get right to the dancing):
