2. History of Interpretative dance

Interpretive dance is a family of modern
dance styles that began around 1900
with Isadora Duncan. It used classical
concert music but marked a departure
from traditional concert dance. It seeks
to translate human emotions, conditions,
situations or fantasies into movement
and dramatic expression, or else adapts
traditional ethnic movements into more
modern expressions. In some cases,
interpretive dance is considered a
category that encompasses dance
styles such as lyrical dance, jazz and
theater dance.

dancers throughout the world, with
particularly strong popularity in the U.S.
and Europe. Although originally
informed by and borrowing from
classical, modern, and jazz styles, it has
come to incorporate elements from

5. History of Tango and the Basic
Skills of Tango.
The tango evolved about 1880 in dance
halls and perhaps brothels in the
lower-class districts of Buenos Aires,
where the Spanish tango, a light-spirited
variety of flamenco, merged with the
milonga, a fast, sensual, and
disreputable Argentine dance; it also
shows possible influences from the
Cuban habanera. Tango Basic is made
of five steps taken to 8 counts of music.
The rhythm is slow, slow, quick, quick,
slow. The slow steps consume two
beats of music and the quick steps one.
6. History of Cha-cha and the Basic
Skills of Cha-cha.
Cha Cha originated in Cuba and
evolved from a slow version of Mambo
called “Triple Mambo” or Mambo with
guiro rhythm. This musical rhythm
inspired dancers to dance a hip
syncopation to the forward and back
breaks of a mambo which late evolved
to a triple step. To dance the cha-cha,
step forward, rock, step, cha-cha, then
do the same only stepping backward.
