    MODERN STANDARD

    DANCES
    AMORA & SOTILLO
    BALLROOM
    “Ballroom” is actually the general term for all partner dances
    which includes the Latin American Dances. The word , “ballroom”
    traces its origin to the Latin word “ballare” which means “to
    dance.”
    The ballroom should be a large space specifically designed and
    used for dancing, some of these dances include the “Old Time”
    and “Sequence” dance. To differentiate itself in the evolution of
    music and movement, the term “modern” was used for newer
    dances. The term “standard” is another name for “ballroom”
    dancing.
    "Ballroom dance" refers
    to traditional partnered
    dance forms that are
    done by a couple, often in
    the embrace of closed
    dance position ("ballroom
    dance position").

    These include waltz,


    swing, tango, salsa and
    blues.
    Thus, Modern Standard Dances are a collection of
    dances that are part of the international dance
    sport competitions.

    At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

    Enumerate the different modern standard


    dances; and
    Identify the skills and preparation for modern
    standard dances as competition.
    Some dances in the Modern Standard category find its
    roots back in the 19th Century. However, most modern
    ballroom dances in the 20th Century took its
    characteristics from couples moving independently, and
    to the rise of new kinds of music like jazz.

    Dances are tied to music, and therefore, new dance


    movements were invented by 1910 to the 1930's. There
    are five Standard Dances that are part of the
    international competitions. The origins and influences of
    these dances come from the different parts of Europe
    and the Americans.
    TANGO
    Tango was the first
    danced in Europe
    before World War I. It
    originated from Buenos
    Aires, Argentina, where
    it was formed in "Barrio
    de Las Ranas," the
    ghetto of Buenos Aires.
    TANGO
    WALTZ
    Waltz was introduced in
    England in 1874, but it was in
    1992 that it became as
    fashionable as Tango. The
    steps in Waltz have already
    undergone changes and
    improvements as well, as a
    result of this, more variations
    have become possible.
    Eventually, these results have
    been standardized by the
    Imperial Society of Teachers of
    Dancing (ISTD).
    WALTZ
    FOXTROT
    Foxtrot was a dance
    named after an American
    Performer Harry Fox, it was
    premiered in 1914 W.C.
    Handy, the father of the
    Blues music, notes in his
    autobiography that his
    song, "The Memphis Blues"
    was the inspiration for the
    foxtrot, (W.C. Handy, 1969)
    FOXTROT
