 | | In parallel with the fascination of literary and musical romanticism with folk music and folk life, the waltz was derived from a folk dance (the Austrian ländler), as were other 19th-century couple dances such as the mazurka and polka. | | | Although popular and social dance forms exist to some extent in non-Western cultures, they are particularly prominent in Western culture, and throughout their documented history, they have influenced and been influenced by Western music and theater. | | | To swing music, teenagers danced the jitterbug, an outgrowth of the 1927 lindy hop. |

| | Traditional Social Dancing |
| | Meanwhile, what remains of traditional social dancing has been relegated to a "niche" existence, often done in church basements, often to recorded music, or, in the case of Swing and Cajun, the only venues that have live music are often unhealthy smoky bars. | | | www.reelclassics.com In this sense, he was to dancing what Frank Sinatra was to music. | | | It is also assumed that dancing is steps and moves, rather than feeling, connection, improvisation, and harmonious attention, based on respect between the dancers and a love of the music and dance culture. |

| | Reader's Companion to American History - -II. Social Dance |
| | Performed on- and off-stage, it could be a solo, couple, or group dance; it was danced by people from different classes and economic strata, cut across racial lines, and was performed in the ballroom, on the frontier, and on the stage. | | | Changed by environmental and social conditions, they were synthesized into a strong new hybrid style of music and dance. | | | Into this category fell the great families of African dances that stressed individual improvisation, percussive accompaniments, and call-and-response song and movement styles—the vernacular Juba, and its sister form, the religious Ring Shout, animal dances like the Buzzard Lope, funeral and processional strut dances, and seasonal dances. |

| | All three dancing masters contributed detailed treatises on social dance that included descriptions of the most popular dances, as well as ancillary information on the appropriate music, ballroom etiquette, and révérences (bows) (See Video Clip 53); there were also rules for accessories such as the handling of swords, gloves, and fans. | | | Recognized as the most virtuosic dance type of the late Renaissance era, the galliard (Fr., gaillarde; It., gagliarda) was a showcase dance for male dancers. | | | The second category consisted of complex dances that required the services of a dancing master as well as considerable practice to perfect. |

| | People saw the dances in Hollywood movies and practiced them to phonograph records or to radio broadcasts before going out on the dance floors of nightclubs or school gymnasiums. | | | The rules of decorum soon broke down as the two-step was followed by the one-step and dances called the Turkey Trot, Bunny Hug, and Grizzly Bear--and all were performed to the music of America's great Ragtime composers. | | | As well as knowing the most fashionable dances, precepts for the ballroom also included the organization of balls and the protocol of invitations, introductions, choice of dances, and appropriate music. |

| | The first part discusses the physical effects of the dance, and the author concludes that habitual dancers are sick more often and that women are more prone to "female weaknesses." The second section focuses on the dangers of dance on the mind and concludes that many girls fail in school because they dance too much. | | | In the third section, the author argues that dance is immoral and "fires the passions of young women." The concluding section is devoted to detailing passages in the Scriptures that the author interprets as supporting his arguments. |
