Dancing is something all of us enjoy in any form. it takes 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. 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 Lately, however, ballroom dances have become popular amongst people from all walks of life as an addition to their social skill-set. Its growing popularity has brought more people to dance studios hoping to learn how to dance as beautifully as the experts. 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. There two official styles of ballroom dances accepted in the United States. 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 dances are hand-downs from the classics. 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 Latin 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.~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.}
