Professor: Gel Messinger
Date: March 10th, 2013
By students:
Ballroom dance was from Europe, and it refers to set of partner dances, which are enjoyed both socially and competitively around the world. Because of its performance and entertainment aspects, ballroom dance is also widely enjoyed in stage, film, and television. Ballroom dance may refer; at it’s widest to almost any type of social dancing as recreation. However, with the emergence of dance sport in modern times, the term has become narrower in scope. It usually refers to the international Standard and international Latin style dance. These styles were developed in England, and are now regulated by the world Dance Council. There are also a number of historical dances and local or a national dance, which may be danced in ballrooms or salons Sequence dancing; in pairs or other formations is still a popular style of ballroom dance. Competitions of ballroom dance, sometimes referred to as Dance sport, range form world championships, regulated by the World Dance Council, to less advanced dancers at various proficiency levels. Most competitions are divided into professional and amateur, though in the USA pro-am competitions typically accompany professional competitions. The international Olympic Committee now recognizes competitive ballroom dance. It has recognized another body, The international Dance sport Federation, as the sole representative body for dance sport in the Olympic Games. However, It seems doubtful hat dance will be included in the Olympic Games, especially in light of efforts to reduce the number of participating sports. Each country in its own way regulates ballroom dance competitions. There are about 30 countries, which compete, regularly in international competitions. There are another 20 or so countries which have membership of the world dance competition and/ or the international dance sport
