Social Dance
What it is?
The best way to have fun and meet new people around the world
Social dance is dance which is recreational and usually performed with a partner and in groups or as a community activity for fun and enjoyment. Sometimes it does not require a partner but simply a number of people in a group. It is not performance or display driven as in formal dance organisations such as ballet, stage or folkloric display, nor is it ceremonial or ritual based; or for competition and judging of performance such as in solo Highland dance, or ballroom dance medals, or in championships or ‘dance-sport’ for television presentation. There are a large number of styles of social dances. Depending on the country, style preferences may be different, but Salsa, Bachata, Brazilian zouk, Argentine tango, and Kizomba are the most popular (click on the links to watch the video).
