A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY…
In times past, ballroom dancing was

social dancing for the privileged, leaving folk dancing for the lower classes. However, it should be noted even in times long gone, many ballroom dances were really elevated folk dances.
At that time ballroom dance was just leisure, one of the ways to spend spare time, something which is now considered to be social dancing. It was also an art, exhibition dancing, like, for example, ballet.

Слайд 6

In 1920th ballroom dance competitions were started to develop. They were

unofficial and not very strict, because there weren’t specific criteria how to evaluate dancers. That’s why in England in 1924 Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) started to create standards in music, steps and technique of dancing.

Слайд 7

The 8-day Blackpool Dance Festival is the most famous annual ballroom

dance competition of international significance, held in May in the Empress Ballroom at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, England since 1920. It is also the largest ballroom competition: in 2003, 1539 couples from 54 countries took part in the festival.

Слайд 23

Dancesport is competitive ballroom dancing, in contrast to social or exhibition

dancing. The name was invented to help competitive ballroom dancing gain Olympic recognition.
On September 5, 1997 the International DanceSport Federation (IDSF) was recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as the sole representative body for dancesport.

SO IT’S A SPORT…

Слайд 26

… BUT AN ART ALSO!

Слайд 27

Today we consider ballroom dance as “an artistic sport”. Why sport?

Because it demands from dancers qualities, which are demanded in real sports. But in contrast of other sports, it has special features which allow considering it not only as a sport, but as an art also.
