	Ballroom dance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ballroom dance is a style of partner dance which originated in the western world and is now enjoyed both socially and competitively around the globe.
		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.
		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").

	The Etiquette of the Ballroom
		Men were expected to be extremely active in the ballroom to make up for the total passivity required of ladies; who could not ask gentlemen to dance, and who could not even be seen to cross the dance floor unescorted.
		Ladies would be conveyed to their station by a gentleman, and there they would wait until another gentleman came to speak to them, ask them to dance or convey them to the punchbowl.
		Noisy talking and boisterous laughter in a ballroom are contrary to the rules of etiquette.

	Shall We Dance?
		The resurgence of social ballroom dance reflects an attempt by today's youth to practice Grandma and Grandpa's courtship rituals, in hopes of getting to know their partner better and avoid meaningless liaisons.
		In fact there are many similarities between the lead/follow relationship of social ballroom dance and that of Alexander Teachers and their students.
		Such is the case for the leader who has only a fixed set of dance steps, and is not willing or flexible enough to go with the flow of the dance in the moment and allow new steps and even mistakes to become a part of the experience.

	Savoy Ballroom
		Like many ballrooms round the world, the Harlem ones tended to be clannish in that people stuck with others from their own areas - and in some cases breaching these circles could lead to confrontations.
		Even in competition ballroom dance, "the jive" that more accurately is called ballroom jive occupies a solitary position as the only "American" example in the Latin and American category.
		The ballroom continued not acknowledging the Lindy Hop, despite a reconciliatory gesture to Snowden after refusing him Savoy endorsement for the marathon, and the growing although largely unreported popularity of the dance there.

	Rendezvous Ballroom, Balboa, California
		The 12,000-square-foot dance floor could easily accomodate over 1,500 couples with a 64 foot soda fountain on the ground floor along with dozens of couches and a smaller soda fountain above on the mezzanine and balcony surrounding the dance floor along with 50 more couches.
		When the $200,000 ballroom went up in flames on 27 January 1935, another even bigger and better "Rendezvous" was built on the site in less than 3 months - and because of the then depression economy, at a fraction of the cost of the first.
		In the early morning hours of 7 August 1966, the Rendezvous Ballroom burned to the ground and an apartment complex was later built at the location.

	Review: Strictly Ballroom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Scott Hastings (Paul Mercurio), one of Australia's best ballroom dancers, is targetted for a number of championships until he abandons the Dance Federation's rigid steps in favor of his own moves.
		Although Strictly Ballroom never recaptures the brilliantly offbeat quality of its beginning, there are still nemerous laughs peppered throughout, and its upbeat sense of fun is infectious.
		Like Dead Poets' Society, Strictly Ballroom's motto might be "Seize the day!" When Scott is dancing to satisfy everyone else's expectations, he isn't happy, but when he takes a chance and does his own thing, he finds fulfillment, and, with Fran, love.
