The Lost Art of Ballroom Dancing

Ballroom dancing has a long, beautiful tradition that can't be compared to modern day dance.

Ballroom dancing began in the 1500s and is beautiful form of art. Over the years dance has transformed, and lets face it, it does not have the same elegance it once did. Teens at prom and at other social events are just grinding all over each other or bouncing up and down "fist pumping". This is not dancing.

There is something about putting on a formal ball and ballroom dancing that brings a sense of class to any event. Ladies get to wear gorgeous ball gowns and men get to look dapper in their suits, apparel which people rarely get an occasion to wear. We grew up watching and reading about prince and princesses attending balls and falling in love, not going clubbing with glow sticks.

This nostalgic form of dancing reminds us of simpler times while also offering a form of stress relief and exercise. Ballroom dancing as always been used a social mixer for people to celebrate different happenings together and find new friends. It does not matter if you are single or a couple, ballroom dancing lessons are a great way to meet others and is a unique talent that is sure to impress anyone. Even though people often associate ballroom dancing with slow dancing, there are fun upbeat dances like the fox trot and the jive. No matter what you are into, there is something for everyone.
