Some of you may know that I am a Ballroom Dancer. Ballroom Dancing began with the Waltz. in 1812 , it took root in England. Viennese Waltz came during Mozart and Johanna Strauss time. The upbeat count of 1,2,3 over and over. Next, the Tango. Tango is based of Argentine Tango. Argentine Tango is what the poor would dance in the streets or bars of Argentina. Foxtrot came in the 1920's. The jazz and flirtatious movements create a slow slow quick quick steps. In 1925, Arthur Murray opened the first official dance studio, just for ballroom. he himself was a champion and his dance partner, Kathryn Murray(his wife) as well. Arthur Murray Studios have grown immensely having over 220 studios around the world!
Until Next Time!
