 What is it about dancing that makes us all feel so free and relived of
our everyday stresses?

3 Ways Dancing Relieves Stress

1. When the body feels good, the mind does, too!

Any type of physical activity releases neurotransmitters and endorphins which

serve to a alleviate stress. Neurotransmitters are chemicals within the brain
that help communicate messages throughout the body. Endorphins are the
body’s natural painkiller to reduce stress and improve the minds perception of
the world. Thus, after a good workout/dancing the endorphins cause the body
to feel calm and optimistic.

2. Dance offers a creative outlet for people to express their personalities in a safe
environment.

Dancing offers an outlet for people to express who they are through music,
movement or even costumes. Dancing helps you connect to who you really
are.

3. Dancing improves your physical health

 Ballroom Dance

Ballroom dancing is a partnership dance where couples, using step-patterns, move

rhythmically, expressing the characteristics of music. Ballroom dancing consists of two
styles: the Smooth, or Standard, and the Rhythm, or Latin. The Smooth, Standard style
focuses on the elegance, grace and fluidity of movement. Dancers rotate in a counter-
clockwise direction, moving around the entire floor. The couple is constantly moving on the
dance floor, transitioning from one place to the next in a fixed pattern. The Foxtrot, Waltz,
Tango, Viennese Waltz and Quickstep are danced in this manner.

The Rhythm, Latin style focuses on a display of vibrant energy and a personal flair. The
couple’s dancing pattern is syncopated to the rhythm of the music. The couple usually dances
in one spot of the dance floor. Included in this style are the East Coast Swing, Jive, Rumba,
Bolero, Cha Cha, Mambo, Samba and Paso Doble.

STANDARD DANCES

Waltz is one of the smoothest ballroom dance. It is a progressive dance marked by long, flowing
movements, continuous turns, and "rise and fall." The dance is so graceful and elegant; Waltz dancers
appear to glide around the floor with almost no effort.

Tango is one of the most fascinating of all ballroom dance. This sensual ballroom dance
originated in South America in the early twentieth century.

Quickstep is a quick version of the Foxtrot. It is a ballroom dance comprised of extremely

quick stepping, syncopated feet rhythms, and runs of quick steps. The Quickstep is exciting
to watch, but among the most difficult of all the ballroom dance.

5
Foxtrot is a smooth dance in which dancers make long, flowing movements across the floor.
Foxtrot has lots of fun and simple to learn an excellent dance for beginners.

LATIN DANCES

Cha cha cha is a lively, flirtatious ballroom dance full of passion and energy. The classic
"Cuban motion" gives the Cha cha cha its unique style. Partners work together to synchronize
each movement in perfect alignment.

6
Mambo is one of the most sensual and emotional Latin American ballroom dances. Swaying
hip movements, facial expressions, arm movements and holds add to the sensuality of the
dance.

Jive is an American dance that evolved from a dance called the Jitterbug by removing the
lifts and acrobatic elements. Dancers use a more bouncy type movement using the balls of the
feet. A lot of kicks are used in jive. Jive is a very fast, energy-consuming dance.

Rumba is considered by many to be the most romantic and sensual of all Latin ballroom
dance. It is often referred to as the "Grandfather of the Latin dances." A moderately slow
Latin dance with plenty of wraps, under arm turns and a truck load of flirtation. It is often
called as the “Dance of Love”.

Samba is popular with young people as well as older generations. Samba can be performed
solo or with a partner. Possibly the most popular of all Brazilian ballroom dance.

Paso Doble is one of the liveliest ballroom dance, originating in southern France. It is
modeled after the sound, drama, and movement of the Spanish bullfight.

In this section, you are going to explore on the type of Latin
dance which is Chacha
Cha Cha

8
 Type: American Latin Dances, International Style Dances (Latin)

Description
This is a fun, flirty dance that grew out of the Cuban Mambo and became
immensely popular in the United States in the 1950’s. It consists of triple chasse steps
(cha cha cha’s) and rock steps.
Cha Cha has a modified Cuban Motion hip action, because of the speed. This is an
exuberant dance that will get your heart pumping and put a smile on your face.

History
Cha Cha originated in Cuba and evolved from a slow version of Mambo called
“Triple Mambo” or Mambo with guiro rhythm. This musical rhythm inspired dancers to
dance a hip syncopation to the forward and back breaks of a mambo which late evolved
to a triple step.
Mambo evolved from a fusion of danzon, son and American jazz. Danzon has its
origins from Europe (chamber music) and African/Haitian drum rhythms. Enrique Jorrin,
a Cuban Violinist created the first cha cha song in 1948. He named it after the shuffling
sound the dancers shoes made when they dance to this type of music.
In 1952, an English dance teacher Pierre Lavelle visited Cuba and saw dancers
dancing this triple step to slow rumba and mambo music. On his return to Britain, he
taught this as a separate dance and it has since evolved to Ballroom Cha Cha.
Cha Cha was introduced to the US in 1954 which replaced mambo as the latest
dance craze. After its introduction to the US, the traditional violins and flutes were
exchanged with big band instruments such as trumpets, trombones and saxophones.
Dance Characteristics
Cha Cha is a lively, fun, cheeky and playful dance. It is a non-progressive dance
that emphasizes Cuban motion, distinguished by the chasses (cha-cha-cha) typically
danced during the 4&1 counts of the music. Cuban motion in Cha Cha is more staccato
than Rumba to reflect the music with emphasis on count 1. The Cha Cha frame is a
typical Rhythm frame.
