What’s New
Nature and Background of Social Dances
and
Dance Mixers
Social dance is dance which is recreational and generally executed with a partner
and in groups or as a community activity for fun and enjoyment. Social dances and dance
mixers are dances. Sometimes it does not require a partner but actually some people in an
institution or community.
It is not performance or display driven as in formal dance agencies such as ballet, stage or
folkloric show, nor is it ceremonial or ritual based; or for competition and judging of overall
performance along with in solo Highland dance, or ballroom dance medals, or in
championships or ‘dance-sport’ for television presentation.
Generally social dance is organized within a community through volunteer leaders or to raise
money for benefits rather than by professional engagement and management. Of course a
few professionals make their business from coaching social dancing and some initial basic
learning may be advantageous for a newbie or for refinement of more advanced technique.
Nevertheless the handing on from an individual to a person and generation to generation is
more a community based tradition and much of the development of social interaction in
conventional dance is acquired through everyday participation with older veterans handing
onto the enthusiastic young.
Social dance can derive from or be an interest within many different genres. It can be the
folk dances of a particular village performed at the local green or community center or it can
be old time dancing perform in a barn or public hall or even ballroom dancing, Latin
American, salsa or rock n roll or any contemporary dance that is public recreation instead of
for display or commercial be.
Many social dances are dance mixers and the primary function is that people ought to mix
and often exchange partners. The optimum purpose of social dances involve organizations
of people enjoying activity within sets where groups and couples regularly change places or
even partners. Some of the primary forms of group dancing within sets known as ‘country
dancing’ are those in which couples are aligned in either longways, circular or columnar
formation, or in squares called ‘quadrilles’. Interaction with other couples and
Social dances are classified into two major dances namely Latin American dances and
Modern Standard dances. Latin American dances are dances originated in Latin America.
This include salsa, mambo, merengue, swing, cha-cha-cha, rumba, paso doble, jive and
boogie. Modern Standard dances are dances that fall into the standard category namely
waltz, tango, foxtrot, viennese waltz, slow waltz and quickstep.
