    Social Dances

    and Dance Mixers


    Prepared by: Daniel M. Alcazarin

    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

    E
    gatherings in any given space.
    They are synonymously referred
    to as ballroom dances, but
    ballroom dances are performed
    in balls or formal social functions.

    sophisticated in nature.
    They are also distinguished
