Western promenade dance
|
|
Western promenade dances are a form of partner dance traditionally danced to country-western music, and which are stylistically associated with American country and western traditions. Specific dances are often associated with a specific song or songs, for example "San Antonio Stroll", "Orange Blossom Special" and "Cotton-Eyed Joe". In promenade-style partner dancing, the partners (dance couple) dance side by side, maintaining a connection with each other through a promenade handhold. The man dances traditionally to the left of the woman. There is no leader or follower, as in ballroom-style partner dancing, as both partners execute the steps identically. However, the man does function as a leader in a limited capacity, when and if there is undertaken turns, twirls and other fancy arm maneuvers. |
