Reaction Paper (Sem. Aguihap)

Social dancing provides both mental and physical health benefits as it is a form of exercise that is enjoyable. There are two main categories of social dance - modern-standard dances like the waltz, tango, foxtrot, and quickstep which are more formal, and Latin dances like the cha-cha, swing, paso doble, jive, and rumba which are more revealing and free in their movements. Learning social dancing can help one meet new people, stay active, and understand an important part of human culture and social interaction.

Reaction Paper about “Social Dance and its Benefits | Ballroom Dance”

Sem. Dale Andrew S. Aguihap


3rd year philosophy | Class of Servites

To begin with, Dance has been a part of human history since the earliest records of human life.
Social Dancing is partner dancing which is informal, relaxed and danced for the enjoyment, not
for an audience or event. Through these social dances we may benefit in both mental and
physical health as a kind of activity which gives the body exercise and movement.
Now I would like to cite this good definition. Dancing is a great way to get up and moving that
doesn't feel as though it is really exercise. This means that you can help your heart by dancing a
little while every day. The longer you dance, the better you will feel and the healthier your heart
will become. Meet New People if you decide to take lessons for dancing, you will find that you
have the ability to meet a bunch of great new people. Dancing is a great way that many people
are discovering to have fun and stay fit. This means that more and more people are joining local
dance classes for these very reasons.1
In social dancing we may encounter a kind of dance which is moved gracefully on stage. Here
there are two classifications of social dancing which are:
Modern-Standard Dance
Latin-American Dance
In modern-standard dance, it portrays a more formal attire and movement her could be shown in
a restricted to closed ballroom positions. Modern-standard dances are; First, Slow waltz- it which
has a smooth and progressive dance that travels around the line of dance, it is characterized by its
“rise and fall” action. Secondly, the tango is a sensual ballroom dance from South America, and
comes from the Latin verb “Tanguere” means “to touch”. Third, the Foxtrot which is an elegant
dance whose objective is to travel smoothly around the dance floor. Fourth, Quick Step which is
an up-down, rise-fall swinging motion performed in fast pace.
In Latin-American Dance, here it portrays a more revealing, tight-fitting, sexy yet so
sophisticated in nature attire, also can be performed in a close or open position, more freer in
their movements. Latin-American dances are; First, Chachacha where this is based from a
mambo dance, it is passionate, energetic, lively, and flirtatious dance. Secondly, Swing it is a
lively style dancing which a dancer often lifts, spins, and flips his/her partner. Third, Paso Doble
where in this dance it is lively and dramatic with long full steps and forceful movement. Fourth,
Jive where here it is a happy, boppy, energetice dance with plenty of knee-lifting, bending, and
rocking of hips. Fifth, Rumba dance which is the sexiest dance, it tells the story of love and
passion between a strong man and a teasing woman.
Now for my conclusion, as I have learned her that there are various kinds of ballroom dance and
how they are properly classified, in the video it was completely discussed that how a person
could learn how to social dance in different methods or ways as for me this types of dance could

really be informative and helpful towards my life for the reason that this of this is a part human
society and part of being a person.
