	Dance of the United States - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Closely related to the development of American music in the early 20th century was the emergence of a new, and distinctively American, art form -- modern dance.
		The main line of development, however, runs from the dance company of Ruth St. Denis (1878-1968) and her husband-partner, Ted Shawn (1891-1972).
		Kirstein invited Russian choreographer George Balanchine (1904-1983) to the United States in 1933, and the two established the School of American Ballet, which became the New York City Ballet in 1948.

	USIA, U.S. Society & Values, June 1998 - Suzanne Carbonneau, "Dance at the Close of the Century"
		Even in the aftermath of the death of the founding generation, today s prevailing troupes continue to honor those early artists through a devotion to dance that is seen as an expression of the individual body and soul, that hints at social and political ideals, and that employs the technical vocabulary of their elders.
		Reflecting its regional roots, the troupe is imbued with a Latin style as evidenced in the verve and spirit of its dancing, and in the large number of Hispanic dancers in its ranks, as well as in the contributions of its resident choreographer, Jimmy Gamonet De Los Heros, a native of Peru.
		While dance has always existed in the United States as a "folk" form a means of celebrating ethnic roots within this nation of immigrants there has been a recent tendency toward the professionalization of traditional dances in companies that follow models of modern dance and ballet.

	The Lure of Balkan Dance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Traditional social dance became a popular form of Balkan folklore in the U.S. in part because its simpler forms were easy for immigrants to learn and spread, thus encouraging community involvement, while other folk arts such as storytelling or painting were not so widely known, commonly encouraged or materially available in the new country.
		This characteristic inclusiveness of Balkan dance is what draws many dancers of varying ethnic backgrounds to Balkan circle and line dances in the United States.
		A related problem is the state or unofficial discouragement of traditional village and regional dances, in favor of the “national” dances presented by the state and professional folk ensembles.

		Billboard has adopted former publication rival Record World's chart statistics from the weeks between March 29, 1975 and August 21, 1976 into their Hot Dance Club Play chart history, as Billboard did not publish a national chart during this time (Billboard published multiple charts featuring regional- or city-specific hits during this era).
		From the Dance Chart's inception until the week of February 16, 1991, several (or even all) songs on an EP or album could occupy the same position if more than one track from a release was receiving significant play in clubs.
		Beginning with the February 23, 1991 issue, Hot Dance Club Play became "song specific", meaning that only one song could occupy each position at a time.
