    Social Dances

    and Dance Mixers


    Social dances and dance mixers are
    dances intended primarily to get to know
    other people in attendance to a certain
    social function. They are also called
    ballroom dances. They are usually
    performed in pairs, male and female, but
    may also be performed in groups.
    The term 'ballroom
    dancing' is derived
    from the word
    “ball”, which in
    turn originates
    from the Latin
    word ballare which
    means 'to dance'.
    SOCIAL DANCES
    Social dances are communal
    dances performed in any social
    gatherings in any given space.
    They are synonymously referred to
    as ballroom dances, but ballroom
    dances are performed in balls or
    formal social functions.

    Latin Dances distinguish
    themselves by the costumes
    worn by performers. They are
    somewhat revealing, tight-
    fitting, sexy yet sophisticated in
    nature.
    They are also distinguished by
    the nature of the movements.
    They are freer and can be
    performed in
    Standard Dances on
    the other hand wear
    formal , ankle length
    gowns for females and
    coat-andtie
    for males. Most of the
    time, movements in these
    are restricted to close
    ballroom position with
    partner.
    Social or ballroom dances are different from
    dancesport because the latter is freer in nature and
    are primarily intended to widen one’s
    social horizon,
    for recreation; and fitness. The former
    is performed
    in competition and are referred to as
    competitive ballroom dancing.
    The required athleticism has established rules
    of different levels of difficulty and is limited to
    fives dances per category only.
    They are cha-cha-cha, rumba,
    samba, paso doble and jive for the Latin
    category and slow waltz, tango,
    Viennese waltz, foxtrot, and quickstep
    for the standard category.

    DANCE MIXERS
    DANCE MIXERS are social dances which
    allow group of performers to change
    partners periodically while dancing to
    allow chance to get to know other members
    of the performing group. Its primarily
    function is to maximize the social
    dimensions of dancing.
    DANCE MIXERS
    There are specific dance mixers that are
    performed in social events but ballroom or
    social dance can be converted into dance
    mixers by expanding it from a pair-dancing
    to group dancing activity with exchange of
    partners periodically while dancing.
