Dancing

The earliest dances enjoyed in the colonies were group endeavors, such as contredances and quadrilles, that involved little body contact. After the waltz swept Europe in the mid-1800s - shocking solid citizens with the closeness required of partners - Americans eagerly embraced it, along with the polka, another imported «social dance».

At the turn of the century, though, Americans took the lead with the two-step, and subsequently taught the world to move to a different beat with each changing era. The elegant Vernon and Irene Castle epitomized the new age, popularizing not only their own Castle walk but also the fox-trot and the tango - mainstays of tea dances and ballrooms. Irene and Vernon Castle first danced together at private parties. Vernon, who was also an aviator, flew combat missions during World War I. Irene was one of the first women to bob her hair their heels came the '50s Latin craze, which introduced the cha-cha. Then rock rolled in. The top tune of 1960 was «The Twist», performed by Chubby Checker, who revolutionized social dancing. «I'm the guy that started people dancing apart», said Checker. No longer did partners need to touch each other or learn prescribed patterns - they simply «did their own thing» at discotheques.

Except when twirling to the intricate choreography of disco in the '70s, Americans continued dancing separately in free-form interpretations of the music. And in the trend of the '80s - break dancing - partners were dispensed with altogether, letting hip-hop dancers shine solo with electrifying dives, spins, and glides to the driving drone of rap.
