Social dancing is a non-competitive version of ballroom and latin dancing. It is comprised of all the same dances, like Foxtrot, Tango, Swing, or Cha-Cha, but designed to be used in practical settings like wedding receptions, nightclubs, business functions, or informal gatherings.
The social origin of ballroom dance lies in the European court dances of the 17th and 18th centuries, although many of the dance steps were adapted from folk traditions.
In primitive cultures, people used dance as a way to come together and celebrate, grieve, worship, and tell stories. They passed oral traditions down from one generation to the next by pairing dance with singing and stories.
