List of Dance Style Categories (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This is a list of dance style categories. These categories are not mutually exclusive and are context dependent (i.e., a particular dance may belong to several categories). Social dance is a major category or classification of danceforms or dance styles, where sociability and socializing are the primary focuses of the dancing. Social dances can be danced with a variety of partners and still be lead and followed in a relaxed, easy atmosphere. Many social dances are partner dances. In fact, quite often when spoken about social dances, ballroom or other partner dances are kept in mind. However it is natural to include in this category such groups of dances as circle dances, line dances, novelty dances, or simply club dancing in solo.
