Social dance

Social Dance Social Dancing is partner dancing which is informal, relaxed and danced for the enjoyment, not for an audience or event. It is danced for enjoyment, socialisation and health.

Social Dancing has no general teaching and learning curriculum. It depends on the teacher who is teaching the style he had chosen to his students

Contra Dance: The Wonder of Social Music On the 2nd of September, I experienced one of the most enjoyable folk dances at the First Baptist Church which is the contra dance.

However, it led me to wonder how social music, especially contra dance, is powerful enough to let strangers dance and communicate with each other in a perfect harmony. The contra dance community was friendly. There was a group

Social dance is an exceptional method to conjugate with other individuals in a social setting. Rather than viewing a dance performance in an auditorium or participating in a dance class at a studio, I experienced social dancing at my cousin’s wedding. The wedding clearly defined different social values with its environment, attendees, and especially, the dance movements. The location of the wedding brought a very warm atmosphere to the abundance of the people present. Each person greeting one another

For my social dance experience, I am going to discuss dancing at a friend’s wedding that I just recently attended.

Hastings, Rico and Ya Ya in the film Strictly Ballroom have been caricaturised and will be compared with reference to filmic techniques. The first time we are introduced to the so called “god of dancing” and the egotistical, lecherous president of the dance federation, Barry Fife, we are met with Rembrandt lighting and a stern, powerful voice which later enforces that “There are no new steps!” Perhaps it is his use of overworked clichés or manipulative ways of deception, possibly his stagnated outlook
