Whatever form it takes, dancing is one of the best ways to feel great. All {we need is some great music and a party just gets better as everyone has a great time moving according to the music.~No matter where it is, whether at a party with others or all by your lonesome at home, great music has a way of getting feet tapping and bodies moving.} 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.

Although now there’s a range of dances that fall into the category of ballroom dances, it started off with only a few. Seen as a leisure activity as well as a competitive sport, ballroom dances are enhanced by the skill and enjoyment a partner brings to them. 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 Lately, however, ballroom dances have become popular amongst people from all walks of life as an addition to their social skill-set. 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. Some consider it a form of exercise, and as it does involve a fair amount of physical activity, it’s a great way to lose and keep off weight, without the boredom of treadmill walks. 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. Ballroom dances like the Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot and Viennese Waltz fall into the first category – American Smooth. These are all dance styles that are considered classical. The Cha Cha, Rumba, Mambo, Bolero and East Coast Swing fall into American Rhythm. These more modern ballroom dances, benefit from the contribution of Latin American influence. 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’. something to try at least once in a lifetime.~Dressing up, and dancing to smooth music with a great partner is guaranteed to make anyone feel special and is a one of a kind experience.}
