Dance basic topics for a list of general dance topics.
Fad dances are dances which are characterized by a short burst of popularity, while Novelty dances typically have a longer-lasting popularity based on their being characteristically humourous or humour-invoking, as well as the sense of uniqueness which they have.
Dances such as the waltz, jitterbug, or the Charleston were once fads, that have become a part of dance tradition.

 Ballroom dance - Indopedia, the Indological knowledgebase
Some ballroom dance instructors specialize in the dances of one place or time, or in fad dances, short-lived, time-specific dances which may be associated with the music or style of an era ("The Twist") or a particular song ("YMCA", "La Macarena").
Most competitive ballroom dances were social and/or folk dances before being formalized as ballroom dances, and many of these dances are still danced as social and folk dance.
Studios also commonly hold showcases where their students can show off what they've learned.

 discoduro Viagra
Disco also gave rise to an increased popularity of line dancing and other partly pre-choreographed dances; many line dances can be seen in films such as Saturday Night Fever, which also features the Hustle.
Initially, most disco songs catered to a nightclub/dancing audience only, rather than general audiences such as radio listeners, but there are many aspects proving opposite tendencies as well; popular radio-hits were being played in discothèques, as long as they had an easy to follow rhythmic base-pattern close to 120 BPM (beats per minute).
Social trends that contributed to disco music include the surpassing of white people by racial and ethnic minorities, black and Hispanic people in the purchasing of records and sound equipment, the increased independence of women in finance and leisure, gay liberation, and the sexual revolution.

 George Winston FAQs
The solo piano dances I do, is where the piano is a one man band kind of thing which go 3 hours or more, of one long medley of RandBsongs, slow dance songs, Soul, Rock, Vince Guaraldi Peanuts pieces, and a bit of Latin, Blues, and occasional waltzes (these are not Modern Dance/Ballet piano dances).
Fess had many inventions on the piano (as they were coined by the great New Orleans pianist and composer Allen Toussaint.) He always put his own completely unique and innovative stamp on every song he played, whether it was an original composition or a masterful interpretation of another composer’s song.
Stride piano came some out of the ragtime tradition of Scott Joplin and the other great ragtime composers from the early 1900s, but the tempos are much faster, there is much more improvisation, and more harmonic development.

 Musical works of Mozart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mozart also wrote much work for solo piano, other forms of chamber music, masses and other religious music, and endless dances, divertimenti, and other forms of light entertainment.
Mozart's production for piano during Vienna years found its peaks with the 17 piano concertos, the most significant works of the great collection of 27 concertos, where he revolutionized the concerto style, giving it a free symphonic dimension, with the solo instrument exploiting all of its technical possibilities and playing never conflicts with the orchestra.
Mozart's earliest composition attempts begin with piano sonatas and other piano pieces, as this is the instrument on which his musical education took place.
