Social Dancing, which is simply group dancing for pleasure or

recreation, has probably existed in some form since the beginning of

human society.

Ballroom dance is also known as social dance because it encourages social interaction between dance partners. While it is a beautiful form of art, it has also at times been an integral part of people’s daily lives for hundreds of years, providing an atmosphere for men and women to gather together develop friendships and have a good time.

Social dance today is international and reflects the

democratization of dance more clearly than any other contemporary dance form
