Dance Information

Experiencing shortness of breath is a condition where an individual feels a difficulty in breathing, often characterized by a sensation of not getting enough air.

This sensation can manifest as a result of various factors, including physical exertion, anxiety, or underlying medical issues. In such instances, individuals may find it challenging to inhale an adequate amount of air, leading to a sense of breathlessness or discomfort.
