    Welcome to Northeastern University's Ballroom Dance Club/Team! Ballroom dancing has gained increased worldwide popularity drawing a larger, younger pool of dancers. At Northeastern, the club consists of two sections, a competitive team and a social club. A large number of our members are involved in the competitive aspect of ballroom dancing at Northeastern University. Representing our school, the dancers travel from place to place, dancing in collegiate- and amateur-level competitions against other schools and other amateur dancers. Between competitions, some of the couples practice rigorously and attend lessons with professional instructors in the area. Many others interested in dancing involve themselves in the social aspects of NUBDC. They attend lessons given by the members of the NUBDC at which they can learn beginner- and intermediate- level dances, improve their movement and coordination, and have a good time dancing and meeting new people. If you are interested in attending NUBDC's social lessons, please check the dance schedule.

    Books on Ballroom Dancing
    About this list
    This list contains books on or about ballroom dancing, including Latin American dacnes, Swing, and the so-called nightclub dances such as the Hustle. This list includes books on dancing that, for the most part, appeared after 1970. While this cutoff date may seem somewhat arbitrary, it means that most of these books are either still in print, or can be found in major libraries. Social dancing changes with time; older books on dancing are of interest mainly to the historian and not to the practitioner of dancing. Moreover, the dancing boom of the 50's and 60's led to the production of a great many forgettable low-budget paperbacks, whose authors were neither competent dancers nor teachers. If you are interested in a comprehensive list of older books, I recommend searching the library of congress catalogues A few older books do appear in this list. They either have exceptional historical value, such as the book written by the Castles and another by Arthur Murray, or are unique in some way and assumed to have some redeeming value.

    http://www.alexandertechnique.com/articles/ballroom
    Shall We Dance? Ballroom Dancing and the Benefits of the Alexander Technique by Jennifer Mizenko Social Ballroom Dance has made a tremendous come back in the past decade and promises to continue in popularity into the next millennium. People of all ages are returning to partner dances such as swing, waltz, tango and many others. Not only are they returning to these dances they are adding their own twists and steps, making the dances of their own time period and are breaking down rules and barriers that have prohibited change in the competitive ballroom world. There are many theories concerning why ballroom dance has returned to the popular masses. I believe this resurgence has to do with reevaluating relationships and courtships at the end of the millennium. The joys and fears of a society are always expressed through their social dance. During the Roaring Twenties in America, we see the emergence of feminism and the influence of African Americans in the Charleston, through the separation of partners and the use of isolations and poly rhythmic movements. In the 1940's, the energy and desperation of the young G.I. going of to war explodes in his one last Lindy Hop at the U.S.O. canteen. The 1960's and early 70's partners separate again, as America's youth questions authority, explores free love and practices communal living. Today, partners are coming back together on the dance floor. After decades of free love and living with the consequences Americans are making a new commitment to monogamy. The transmission of sexually transmitted diseases proliferated during the 1970's and 80's. We now live in an age where unprotected sexual contact can threaten an individual's life. As a result, people are taking more time to get to know their potential partner's history and background. The resurgence of social ballroom dance reflects an attempt by today's youth to practice Grandma and Grandpa's courtship rituals, in hopes of getting to know their partner better and avoid meaningless liaisons.
