Standard Ballroom Dances

Brief History, Nature and Characteristics
Standard ballroom dances are smooth, flowing ballroom dances that
move around the entire dance floor in a counterclockwise movement.
The international Standard and International Latin techniques were
codified by the Imperial Society of Teacher of Dance (ISTD) to come up
with a unified syllabus for all those interested in learning ballroom
dancing. These includes Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, and Quick Step.

1914.
✓ It is an elegant dance whose objective is to travel smoothly around the dance
floor.

the “backbone dance” of the ballroom.

characterized by its “rise and fall” action.

African term for “closed space” or “reserved ground,” or it may be from the
Latin verb tanguere which mean “to touch”. It originates from Buenos Aires
(Argentina) where it was first danced in “Barrio de Las Rana”, the ghetto of
Buenos Aires.

Hydration and Overexertion in Dancing

Dehydration, overexertion, hypo-and hyperthermia maybe experienced during

participation to moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Dancers sweat as they generate
heat during training, rehearsal, and performance. This is how the body cools itself. This loss of
fluid, however, can lead to dehydration, resulting in dizziness, lack of energy, inability to
concentrate, sore muscles, and lackluster performance. This loose of fluid, however can lead to
dehydration which may lead to hypothermia and hyperthermia where there is an increase or
decrease of heat production of body temperature. Pushing yourself too hard during physical
activity may also cause overexertion leading to dizziness, feeling faint and lightheadedness.
These may affect your dancing performance and your over-all health status will be at stake.
Observing some safety protocols can help avoid dehydration, overexertion, hypo-and
hyperthermia.

Dehydration and Hydration

Dehydration is caused by not drinking enough fluid or by losing more fluid than you take
in. Fluid is lost through sweat, tears, vomiting, urine or diarrhea. The severity of dehydration
can depend on a number of factors, such as climate, level of physical activity and diet. Consider
the following safety protocols to avoid dehydration:
✓ Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Drinking enough water each day is
crucial for many reasons:
1. to regulate body temperature;
2. to keep joints lubricated;
3. to prevent infections;
4. to deliver nutrients to cells; and
5. to keep organs functioning properly.
✓ Eat foods with high amounts of water like fruits and vegetables.
✓ Avoid or limit drinks with caffeine like coffee, teas and soft drinks.
✓ Avoid or limit drinks with alcohol.

Physical activity therefore results in increased water requirements that parallel

sweat losses. If these hydration needs for exercise are not met, the body can
enter a state of dehydration. Dehydration during physical activity is recognized
as having a detrimental effect. Staying well hydrated: before, during and after
exercise is very important.

Overexertion
Overexertion occurs when people push themselves too hard during physical
activity. Signs of overexertion includes dizziness, and feeling faint. Feeling dizzy
after a moderate to vigorous physical activity is a common occurrence.
Considering safety protocols in order to avoid dizziness as a result to
overexertion is to:
✓ cool down and rest for a few minutes;
✓ sit down and place the head between the knees to increases blood flow to the
brain;
✓ practice deep breathing for several minutes, making sure to inhale and exhale
slowly;
✓ stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids before, during, and after physical
activity;
✓ eat something (a snack) of complex carbohydrates and lean proteins (an hour or
so before a workout is advisable);

✓ increase the intensity of workouts gradually and avoid pushing the body too
hard;
✓ quit smoking.

Hyperthermia and Hypothermia

Hyperthermia and Hypothermia are both conditions that may occur when the
body can no longer release enough of its heat to maintain a normal temperature.
The body has different coping mechanisms to get rid of excess body heat, largely
breathing, sweating, and increasing blood flow to the surface of the skin.
Hyperthermia differs from fever to which the body's temperature set point
remains unchanged. The opposite is hypothermia, which occurs when the
temperature drops below that required to maintain normal metabolism. Heat

exhaustion is one of the more serious stages of hyperthermia. Any activity that
involves exercise in warm, and humid environments increases the risk of this
condition. Some safety protocols may help prevent this condition such as:
✓ getting out of the cold, wind, or rain, if possible,
✓ adding warm layers of clothing;
✓ wearing loose clothing in multiple layers. To prevent yourself from sweating and
cooling down too much, remove a layer if you get hot. Looser clothing retains
heat well, but your sleeves should fit snugly at the wrists.
✓ eating enough food with enough source of carbohydrates;
✓ drinking fluids;
✓ moving your body to help warm your core;
✓ preventing more serious problems, take action as soon as you notice early signs
of the condition;
