Ballroom Dancing is a “set of partner social dances ... done socially and competitively ... and displayed on stage, in film, and on television.” Many ballroom dances evolved from folk dances, and as society changes, steps and styles go in and out of fashion.

FYI - Ballroom derives its name from the Latin ballare, “to dance”.

The tap dance gets its name from the sound made when the small metal plates attached to the dancer's shoes hit the floor. The dancer is not only performing movement, the taps make the dancer into a percussion instrument and musician. The tap dance may have evolved from the blending of African dance, Spanish flamenco, Irish stepdance, and clogging.
