	Ballroom: Internationl vs American style
		International style was developed by the British, particularly through the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) and the International Dance Teachers' Association (IDTA).
		American style features open work, under-arm turns, open extended lines, etc., while International style requires a close proximity of the partners at all times, and hence can use the concept of a "common center" which allows for a three- dimensional body action in unison that does not quite work for American style.
		American Style also includes the Samba, although it's been noted many many times that the Samba is probably the dance with the least amount of differences between AS and IS. In fact, it's been observed that the dance is EXACTLY the same in both styles.

	Definition of the International Gothic style (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is usually called International Gothic or the International Style, but the terms courtly style, soft style, beautiful style, lyrical style, cosmopolitan Gothic style, trecento rococo and court naturalism are also to be met with in works on art history.
		This problem of terminology can be explained by the fact that - in contrast to other styles - the phenomenon itself was not noticed either by contemporary commentators or by their immediate successors, and it was only at the end of the nineteenth century that it attracted the attention of art historians.
		It is partly due to this that art historians concerned with the German sculpture of the period conceived the term "the soft style", while Czech scholars called it "the beautiful style".
