    Rises and falls is a category of the ballroom dance technique that refers to rises and falls of the body of a dancer achieved through actions of knees and feet (ankles).

    This technique is primarily recognized in International Standard and American Smooth dance categories. Rises and falls are important in Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep, and Viennese Waltz. Tango is described the "level" or "flat" dance, and its basic technique specifically eliminates rises/falls in the overall motion, with the exception of certain advanced figures and styles.

    The expression "rises and falls of the body" is a rather vague one, and in attempts to be more precise some texts refer to center of gravity, rather than body. This may also be misleading if taken out of context: the center of gravity may be lowered, e.g., by bends and sways. In addition, a certain amount of body rise and fall may be achieved by hip action, used in Latin dance, but absolutely proscribed in Standard and Smooth.

    Rises and falls of the body is a natural phenomenon during casual walking: when feet are apart the body is closer to the ground than when the feet are together. Some dances, e.g., Charleston, exaggerate this natural "bobbing", while in many others bobbing at each step is considered to be bad style or lack of proper technique.

    Rise & Fall (Justice Crew song)

    "Rise & Fall" is a song recorded by Australian dance-pop group Justice Crew. It was released digitally and physically on 24 October 2014, as the fifth single from their debut studio album Live by the Words. It was written and produced by Robopop with Emily Laura Katter, Sam Nicolosi and DNA Songs and is a mid-tempo pop track. It debuted at number 11 in Australia.

    Background and release

    Following the success of "Que Sera", Justice Crew featured on Beau Ryan's single "Where You From?" and announced their new single would be titled "Rise & Fall" on 26 September.

    On Rise & Fall, Justice Crew turn away from the house music sound by experimenting with soft-rock. Justice Crew member John Pearce explains, "We have had our pop music and our club bangers, but we edged off to the side with 'Que Sera' and now with 'Rise & Fall' we are exploring a whole new side to Justice Crew. It's got a sort of 'love' meaning behind it... it is a romantic song, but the lyrics are really metaphorical." "'Rise & Fall' is definitely a new sound for us, but I think it's a really good direction that we're heading in. We're really excited to see what people think."

    Rise And Fall

    by: Beloved

    Our defenses open
    Our motives are shot
    This hush of the heart seems too much to keep
    Its gathered here and wakening me
    Its stealing with fear that's reaching in
    And pulling out with every beat
    Resounding loud and clear, but only to me
    In this confiding pulse
    Ill find a way to keep it all confined
    Its reminding me and always surrounding me
    Past pictures will keep me
    From being the man I could be
    Burn out and I'll burn now
    Ill carry this burden of memory
    A name that lingers on a blank face
    Can never fill a heart that's sinking fast
    And hurting to feel
    Its falling so fast now
    To never rise again
    We all burn out
    We all rise and fall
