Round dancing is couple dancing using choreographed routines to various styles of music, with all couples doing the same steps at the same time very much like ballroom dancing. While the most common rhythms are two-step and waltz, others include fox trot, jive, cha cha and slow two step. Round Dancing is a non-competitive couple recreation, open to anyone and is historically rooted in and still is related to square dancing. It gives everyone the joy and delight of moving to music and the opportunity to have fun with friends. Though formal dance training is not necessary, as with any new skill, round dance lessons are required in order to understand the figures and language used. Once the figures are learned, the dancers are led through the routines by verbal prompting (cueing). After lessons have been completed, dancers have the opportunity to join a round dancing club where they can continue to develop their proficiency of figures and/or increase their repertoire of dances. Often square dance clubs include round dancing in their program. |
