Shall we dance?
BALLROOM DANCING 社交ダンス
- Ballroom dancing is a style of dancing for couples, with fixed steps and movements. It is danced to music such as waltzes and tangos.
Be careful:
We do not usually use the expression "social dancing" like the Japanese 社交ダンス to mean ballroom dancing. Ballroom dancing is only one kind of social dancing. - ballroom dancing は、男女一組で踊る、ステップや動作が決まっているダンスです。ワルツやタンゴなどの音楽に合わせて踊ります。
注意:
ballroom dancing のことを日本語では「社交ダンス」と言いますが、英語では普通、social dancing とは呼びません。ballroom dancing は、social dancingの中の一種類です。
