<p>The first main purpose of this essay is to describe the situation of young women today here in this part of the world concerning influences from commercial media.</p><p>The second purpose with this essay is to investigate if dance could be used as a tool against all these sterotyped and superficial pictures and ideals in the industy of commersial media.</p><p>With some questions I also want to get closer to the answer if dancing is a way for young women to get insight knowledge. I also describe women from dance history who experienced that dance filled them up with energy but also environment where there was oppression.</p><p>This essay has a gender perspective.</p><p>The methods are manly based on literature studies but information is also gathered from the Internet and from one film.</p><p>My results are that dance is a very constructive way to give the young woman that force which is needed when meeting media pictures everywhere. It gives her self-confidence, body awareness, joy and strength in life.</p>
