LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON

LINE DANCE HISTORY

The line dance is commonly performed to the tune of country music. However, it
surprisingly did not originate from any country or western place. The steps and the
manner of dancing were believed to have coined from folk activities in ancient
times.
Another form believes to have contributed to this modern method is the Contra.
Contra dancing is a folk dance in North America wherein the people joining in form
two lines facing away from each other. Together, they perform a series of dance
steps. It was only during 1980s that the art of line dancing has become popularly
at tuned to country songs.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Ballroom dancing is a form of couples’ dance which are enjoyed both socially
and competitively around the world. Because of its performance and entertainment
aspects, ballroom dance is also widely enjoyed on stage, film, and television.

The term “ballroom” is derived from the word ball which in turn originates
from the Latin word ballare which means to dance (a ball-room being a large room
specially designed for such dances). Time past, ballroom dancing was social
dancing for the privileged, leaving folk dancing for the lower classes. The definition

of ballroom dance also depends on the era: balls have featured popular dances of
the day such as the Minuet, Quadrille, Polonaise, Polka, Mazurka, and others,
which are now considered to be historical dances.

Brief History of the dance Cha-Cha-Cha

The cha-cha dance originated from Cuba was originally known as the cha-chacha.
The dance gained popularity around the 1950’s and was created from two other
dances – the ‘mambo’ and the ‘danzon’. Enrique Jorrin, a violinist and composer,
realized that most of the crowds related the danzon-mambo rhythm to a much
slower mambo dance and thus had hardship adopting the syncopated rhythms. He
decided to compose music that strongly focused on the first downbeat such that
the rhythm became less syncopated. This caused the crowd dancers to develop a
triple step, creating the sound ‘cha-cha-cha’ with their shoes, thus the cha-cha-cha
was born.
