Dance Event
What Is Social Dance?
Social dance is a type of dance performed for pleasure, interaction, and community, rather than competition or performance. It includes dances like waltz, foxtrot, swing, cha-cha, and salsa. These dances are usually performed with a partner, though some are solo or group dances.
The purpose is to connect with others, enjoy music, and have fun. Social dances often take place at events like weddings, dinner dances, or community gatherings.
What Is the California Mix?
The “California Mix” refers to a playlist of ballroom dance music that alternates between smooth dances (like waltz or foxtrot) and rhythm dances (like cha-cha or swing). This mix keeps dancers engaged by offering variety and accommodating different skill levels.
