		Social dance is a major category or classification of danceforms or dance styles, where sociability and socializing are the primary focuses of the dancing.
		Fad dances are dances which are characterized by a short burst of popularity, while Novelty dances typically have a longer-lasting popularity based on their being characteristically humourous or humour-invoking, as well as the sense of uniqueness which they have.
		Street dance is an umbrella term used to describe dance styles that were originally danced mostly at night clubs or outside in the streets, mainly because of their social nature that encourages performance and battles.

	Notes on Choreography for Duple Minor Improper Contra Dances by Cary Ravitz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Diagramming a dance is useful to verify that it works, to determine where people should be at various parts of the dance, and to explain the dance to others.
		I like dances where you spend most of the dance with your partner, dances where you split time with partner, neighbors, and trail buddies, and dances where you spend most of the dance with neighbors and trail buddies and return to your partner for a balance and swing.
		To me, a partner swing is essential for a good dance, and a partner balance and swing or gypsy and swing is desirable.
