What is Social Dancing?

With the help of television "Couples Dancing" is making a big comeback with all age groups.  Moving to music is natural and therapeutic.  Dancing is enjoyed by millions of people.  Dancing for fun whether it is Ballroom, Jive, Tango or Salsa is more popular than people realise.  Enjoy the music, meet people, have a few dances. 

 

We promote non-competitive dancing.

 

This is Social Dancing capturing the social graces.

Where can I learn?

For those who want to learn there are classes and courses held in halls and studios everywhere.

 

It is not always necessary to have a partner to walk into a class or studio and start to learn.

 

Many classes, especially in Jive and Salsa, insist that you do not need a partner to begin.

 

There are often more men than ladies!!!

We started Dance Dairy in 1993 so that "Social Ballroom Dancing" could be promoted at a time when many people thought "Ballroom Dancing" meant dressing up in tail suits and sparkly dresses and having a number on your back (that being competition dancing or dancesport).

 

We at Dance Diary promote Social Dancing making no distinction between the various styles of dancing from Sequence to Salsa. Since starting Dance Diary attitudes within the profession have changed and Social dancing of all styles is recognised as an expanding social pastime and important to the whole world of dance.
