An invitation to happiness from national sports dance athlete Jang Se-jin
Dance is a process of learning about life, understanding relationships, and finding happiness.
Life is ultimately a journey to find your own dance.

Dancing on stage was not just a simple movement for me.
Dance is the most powerful language that has shaken my life, supported me at times, and ultimately helped me grow.
This book depicts the self-portrait of a national sports dance athlete, including the overwhelming joy of victory, injuries and frustrations, and the loneliness that comes from endless practice.
His stage experience is not simply the story of 'dance sport athlete Jang Se-jin'.
This is because it contains the process of learning about life, understanding relationships, and finding happiness through dance, which anyone can relate to.
Therefore, this book is not a technical guide for professional dancers, but rather introduces the author's humble experience of sharing how to apply the insights gained through dance to one's daily life.

The author confesses that the steps he took were a 'language of life', and that he was able to communicate with the world through that language and express the stories within himself.

First, dancing was a joyful first step in discovering myself.
Because I learned how to look back on myself in joy.
