 Social dancing is partner dancing that is informal, relaxed, and danced for the enjoyment
of the partners - rather than to meet the criteria of a dance school or an audience. Social dancing
is danced for enjoyment, socialization, recreation and health. The test for social dancing success
is how much the dance partners have enjoyed the dance - not how they have danced in the eyes
of others or how "correctly" they have danced.
Social dancing is different for American ballroom dancing which is sometimes called
social ballroom dancing. Ballroom dancing is meant to be danced in ballrooms, and social
dancing is suited for dancing on small or crowded floors, such as dance floors found in
restaurants and pubs. If ballroom dancers wish to use their dancing skills in social dance
environments, they do need to change and adapt their style and steps.

In this Unit, you are expected to execute the dance involved in social dances.

Week 1

What is a Dance?
Dance is a performing art form consisting of sequences of movement, either improvised or
purposefully selected. This movement has aesthetic and often symbolic value. Dance can be
categorized and described by its choreography, by its repertoire of movements, or by its
historical period or place of origin.
Dancing ------- is a means of expressing one’s emotions through movement disciplined by
rhythm. It is an act of moving rhythmically and expressively to an accompaniment. The word
dancing came from an old German word “ danson” which means to “ stretch”. Essentially, all
dancing is made up of stretching and relaxing.

We humans are natural dancers. Dances can be performed during celebrations, or for praise, or
for an audience – or just a simple act of letting the rhythm move your body. Dancers can
communicate ideas, preserve cultural identities, strengthen social bonds, or just have a lot of fun.
