 Information Sheet PE212-1
The History of Ballroom and Dancing

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. Familiarize the terminologies in ballroom dancing
2. Know the two classifications of ballroom dancing.

The term 'ballroom dancing' is derived from the word ‘ball’ which in turn originates
from the Latin word ballade which means 'to dance' (a ball-room being a large room
specially designed for such dances). In times past, ballroom dancing was social dancing for
the privileged, leaving folk dancing for the lower classes. These boundaries have since
become blurred. The definition of ballroom dance also depends on the era: balls have
featured popular dances of the day such as the Minuet, Quadrille, Polonaise, Polka,
Mazurka, and others, which are now considered to be historical dances.

Terminologies to remember in ballroom dancing.

 Alignment is the directions that the leader uses to navigate the room in the travelling
dances.

 Amalgamation means taking several steps in a dance without doing a basic in

between. This is a great way to learn how to dance more fluidly.
 Chasse is the side together side motion that you would use in dances like Bachata and
Cha-cha.
 Dance position for social dances is how the leader and the follower hold each other.

Outside partner position Open position

 Foot positions includes the balletic positions and how they move. First position is
considered a “neutral” position since your feet are straight under your body. The other
positions, however, can move either forward and back or side to side like a compass.

Footwork is specifically what part of your foot is touching the floor. Some examples
for what it could refer to is the toe or the ball of the foot.

 Line of dance –It is the counter clockwise movement around the floor that dancers in
travelling dances like Waltz and Tango follow. This is very important as it minimizes
collisions on the dance floor!
 Poise is leaning forward over the balls of the feet for Latin dances like Rumba, or
leaning back over the heels for Ballroom dances like Waltz.
 Slows and quick’s –In short, slows take up two beats, and quicks are one beat.
 Sway refers to stretching to keep your balance during rotation in Waltz, Foxtrot and
Viennese Waltz. This is what makes the dance look and feel voluminous and like it
takes up a lot of space instead of being static.
 Syncopation – refers to when there are two steps in one beat, like in Cha-cha.

Two Classifications of Ballroom Dancing:

1. Latin Dances - consists of the Cha-cha-cha, Rhumba, Samba, Paso doble, and also
the Swing.

2. Modern Standard – consists of the Modern Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Slow
Foxtrot, and Quickstep, are dance the world over both socially and in Dancesport
competitions.
