 WHAT IS BALLROOM?
refers to a set of partner dances, which are
enjoyed both socially and competitively
around the world. Ballroom dance may refer,
at its widest, to almost any type of social
dancing as recreation
 A BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT BALLROOM
Ballroom dancing” as a term hails from the Latin word “ballare”
which, coincidentally, means “to dance.”

Centuries ago, ballroom dancing was primarily for the

privileged and well-to-do, while the commoners had to make do
with folk dancing.

Today, ballroom dancing applies to numerous dances in which

a “leader” and a “follower” dance together in close proximity,
usually with some degree of physical contact.
 EARLY BALLROOM DANCING
The first documented authority of early ballroom dancing is
Jehan Thoinot’Arbeau’s Orchesographie (1588) that
discussed 16th-century French social dance.
In 1650, Jean-Baptiste Lully introduced the Minuet to Paris-
a dance that would dominate ballroom until the end of the
18th century.
The Waltz came about in England in the early 1800s despite
initial opposition to the closed dance hold.
By 1870, the ballroom was slowly declining in popularity.

 BALLROOM DANCING EMERGES

IN THE U.S.

In the early 20th century, ballroom dancing

experienced massive popularity in the US with
the extremely successful dancing of Fred
Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
