When you think of ballroom dancing, you usually think of the flowing dresses and dark tuxedo. They also think of beautiful, graceful, women and large, dark, handsome men waltzing their way around the dance floor. However, it is not just social dancing the waltz, it is much more. From the elegant and stately waltz, a hot, sultry and sexy tango or paso doble, or a good piece of lively fun as the Foxtrot, Jive or Quick Step, ballroom dancing is all of this.
Technically, ballroomDancing is defined as "any of various, usually social dances in which couples perform set moves". However, the word "ball" (not the children's toys) comes from the Latin "ballare" meaning to dance and is the basis for the word ball room (a place for dancing), ballet (dance) and ballerina (a dancer).
Ballroom dancing was very popular with the men (or upper) of England in the late 18th and early 19 Century and not really push through with the working class until the late 19thand early 20 Century.
It was not until the early 1920s that competitive Ballroom dancing began gaining popularity. As a result formed the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (formerly known as The Imperial Society of Teachers Dance known) is a Ballroom Branch whose function was to standardize the ballroom dances.
Today, modern ballroom dancing revolves around five dances from: the Modern Waltz, Viennese Waltz, Slow Foxtrot der; Tango and the Quickstep.
Latin American Ballroom is short for Latin and American - not a reference to Latin countries and their dances are Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble, Cha-Cha, Jive and the.
The modern ballroom dances include all a dancing couple hold in a closed and vary in tempo (beats per minute) and rhythm (structure). A closed hold involves five physical points of contact between the couple. Three of these points involve the hands, men on the left hand with the females left, right, women> Hand on the top of the males right upper arm (for the Tango, the female would go hand behind his arm) and the right hand to the males, the females again rest on her left shoulder blade. The other two focal points are the females left elbow resting on his right elbow and men's side of the chest touching the right of the right side of male female breast. This dance posture looks very elegant look as the couple floats across the dance floor and has itsOrigins in the European courts.
There are suggestions that the right side to right side contact of the closed sides keep their links can originate from a time when men danced while wearing their swords hanging, which. In addition, this theory would also explain the movement have counter-clockwise around the dance floor, as if the man was standing on the inside of the circle, so he made a mistake not to watch the people the dancers with his swordas he danced past.
The attitude of Latin American Ballroom dance varies from dance to dance by hand a few dances with the closed hold and others where the partners hold each other with only one.
Both Modern Ballroom and Latin American Ballroom has been standardized for teaching purposes and has a number of internationally recognized vocabulary, technique, rhythm and tempo.
