Ballroom Dances
62
Dancing is something all of us enjoy in any form. All we need is some great music and a party just gets better as everyone has a great time moving according to the music. Of all the kinds of dances around the world, one form of dancing has been looked upon as a form of art as well. That is ballroom dancing.
Ballroom dances are many and varied currently, but at the beginning it was quite a narrow range of dances. Ballroom dances are a set of dances that require partners, and are now seen both in the social arena and in competitions around the world. Ballroom dances are considered a form of social dancing, and were initially started as a dance form for the richer in society, while folk dancing was considered for those in the lower social status levels in society. Since then however, the definition of ballroom dances has blurred, and now we see that ballroom dances have pervaded all social levels of society, whether rich or poor. The younger generation have become interested in these kind of ballroom dances, and more and more are visiting dance studios in an effort to learn this elegant dance form. Ballroom dances require a lot of agility, physical strength, concentration and coordination from both men and women, and it is no wonder then that some look on ballroom dances as a source of exercise, although in a much more fun way! In the United States there are two kinds of dance styles that are included when talking about ballroom dances. They are American Smooth and American Rhythm. American smooth includes ballroom dance like the Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot and Viennese Waltz. These are all dance styles that are considered classical. The American rhythm includes dances like Cha Cha, Rumba, Mambo, Bolero and East Coast Swing. These ballroom dances are a much more modern version of dancing, and include a lot of Latim American influences to the dancing styles as well. All this just goes to show how much the style of ballroom dancing has evolved over the years and across continents as well.
Ballroom dancing is something that each of us has to learn at least to be able to say that at some point in life we knew how to dance like they did in the ‘old days’. Ballroom dancing is an elegant and beautiful dance form that can make anyone, even the most clumsy person, look like a star, and that is one experience none of us would want to miss.

Salsa Dancing says:
3 weeks ago
Ballroom dancing isn't actually a style of dance, there are more than 10 dance styles that cover ballroom dancing, so it pays to be more specific. I know salsa, and it does not mean that I can dance with someone who does tango, so it helps to be more specific.
