  Dance, does everyone need to know how to dance? I have always thought of dance as a type of entertainment for the young and the young at heart. It really doesn’t matter which social class you are in because every class has it’s own dance and it is quite universal. If you have read Jane Austen’s novel pride and prejudice, the ballroom where people dance is also a place where people socialize and get to know one another. And in the novel it is where the character tries to fine their future husband or wife. Who can forget the story Cinderella and her famous glass-slipper or should I say glass-shoes. Here also we see how dance plays a part in the society of the story. The prince was to fine a wife by inviting all the girls from all over the land to attend a dance. Again dance is a form of social interaction between people, a function that provides a relaxing environment for people to come together and get to know one another.
Recently I have visited a web site that has some interesting comment about dance, not just any dance but Ballroom dance. It has some information about its changes and development and how it is still popular even though nowadays we have disco dance and an increasing number of nightclubs and pubs. http://www.dancetv.com/tutorial/basics/basic2.html quote “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.” Unquote. So do have a look at this web site to learn more about ballroom dance and other related topics. Visit http://www.dancetv.com/tutorial/basics/basic2.html
