    Types of Social Dancing

    Objectives:
     Differentiate and classify the characteristics of different
    styles of social dance.
     Develop good rapport, trust and self-confidence in
    demonstrating dance holds/positions with partner.

    Rumba
    The name Rumba was originally applied specifically to the dancing style with
    lascivious movement of the hip, bosom and other flexible parts. The Rumba influence
    came in the 16th century from the black slaves from Africa. The native Rumba folk
    dance is essentially a sex pantomime danced extremely fast with exaggerated hip
    movements and with a sensually aggressive attitude of men and a defensive attitude
    on the part of women.

    Rumba is considered
    by many to be the most
    romantic and sensual of all
    Latin ballroom dance. It is
    often referred to as the
    "Grandfather of the Latin
    dances." A moderately slow
    Latin dance with plenty of
    wraps, under arm turns and a
    truck load of flirtation. It is
    often called as the “Dance of
    Love”.

    The music is written in 4/4 time, which gives 4 counts to each bar of music, 1,
    2, 3, 4. The beat values are 2, 3, 4-1 or quick, quick, slow.

    Here’s an example of Rumba dance. Please click the link below.

    Cha-cha
    There are various theories as of the
    origin of Cha-cha. It could derived from the
    Spanish chacha meaning nursemaid, or
    chachar meaning to chew coca leaves, or
    from char meaning tea. Cha cha cha is a
    lively, flirtatious ballroom dance full of passion
    and energy. The classic "Cuban motion"
    gives the Cha cha cha its unique style.
    Partners work together to synchronize each
    movement in perfect alignment
    This dance evolved from the Mambo and has
    its origins in the religious ritual dances of
    West Africa. The music is usually in 4/4 time,
    sometimes 2/4. The Cha-cha-cha is a Cuban
    dance, based on the Rumba.
    Here’s a video basic elements of Cha-cha. Please click the link below.

    Samba
    Comes from Brazil. It differs from other Latin- American dances because it is
    lively and vigorous and the feet is constantly leaving the floor. It is literally a bouncing
    step. It involves much knee action with the dancers bodies resembling a swinging
    pendulum as they sway and turn. 2/4 time 1 ah 2.

    Samba is popular with young people as well as older generations. Samba can
    be performed solo or with a partner. Possibly the most popular of all Brazilian
    ballroom dance.

    Waltz
    It is the first dance to use closed dance position. Waltz is one of the smoothest
    ballroom dance. It is a progressive dance marked by long, flowing movements,
    continuous turns, and "rise and fall." The dance is so graceful and elegant; Waltz
    dancers appear to glide around the floor with almost no effort.

    The waltz was to be performed solely for the demonstration of elegance and not
    pleasure. The name comes from the German word to revolve, turning with smooth
    gliding steps. Music is ¾ time 1, 2, 3.

    Paso Doble
    It finds its roots in the Spanish
    style music of the 1930’s. It is popularly
    known as the man’s dance, portraying
    the story of the matador with (the female
    being ) his cape where the matador is to
    weild his cape according to the anger
    and intensity of the roaring boar.
    Paso Doble is one of the liveliest
    ballroom dance, originating in southern
    France. It is modeled after the sound,
    drama, and movement of the Spanish
    bullfight.

    Swing
    A dance is a lively style of social dancing in which a dancer often lifts, spins
    and flips his or her partner. Considered both hip and cool, swing dancing is a favorite
    among social dancers of all ages.

    The beauty in the simplicity of line dancing steps is that they are so adaptable that
    they can be reworked and reused in a variety of different dances and dance styles.
    The steps are very basic and are often repeated numerous times in the line dance.
    Adding small twists or variations on the core steps or utilizing them as transitions in
    other dances will be an ideal use of the steps.

    An outgrowth of the jitterbug, it is marked by quick, strenuous movements sometimes


    accompanied by acrobatics in its present form; it maybe a lively smooth dance. Benny
    Goodman is the band leader credited with the developing the rhythm of Swing. It is
    named after Charles Lindbergh’s solo flight across the Atlantic ocean in 1927 Music is
    4/4 time sometimes 3/4 1,2,3,4/ 1,2 ah 3
