Correspondence dance is also known as social dance, social dance, usually we use this expression of social dance more. First of all, we have to understand, social dance is a general term, in different countries represented by the meaning is different.
In China, when we talk about social dance, we basically say that it is Chinese social dance; while in foreign countries, the specific type of social dance and dance form is different from the Chinese social dance, so we have to be clear about the geographical location and the audience when we talk about this topic. The following is the scope of Chinese ballroom dance.
In China, ballroom dance is a collective term for a number of dance styles created by folklorists for their own enjoyment, so in many cases there is no professional or official term for ballroom dance. Because of the many kinds of ballroom dance, no one can tell the specific development of the beginning of the period; however, from the point of view of the specific types of dance in today's population base, competition group settings, etc., the ballroom dance from the 80's began to gradually popularize among the public.
Is there a standard for ballroom dancing? In fact, there is no standardization of social dance movement, different teachers teach a variety of dance steps, action essentials are also different, not because of the competition you do not see the pace of the referee even if you are wrong.
In some ballroom dancing events, there are two categories: mass ballroom dancing and standardized ballroom dancing. The former can be regarded as a lower category, which means that the level of the participants is a little lower, while the latter is a higher category. Therefore, the so-called normative is only the concept of good-looking dance.
How to understand the word "professional" in social dance? This is also the place where the public is most likely to be unable to understand. First of all, social dance in the dance academy and sports academy did not set up a separate professional, it only exists in the school of colleges and universities in the elective courses, which is enough to see that the social dance has not risen to the status of the necessary to open a professional.
Secondly, when it comes to a specific person, some people will say that a certain person is very professional in ballroom dancing, then it is just that this person has been dancing for a long time, and may specialize in teaching and competing in ballroom dancing, but it does not have a lot to do with his high level of ballroom dancing.
This is what people call the concept of professionalism. Therefore, the concepts of professionalism that we usually refer to in sports, art, technology, academia, etc. are not applicable to the field of ballroom dancing.
