...dance floor in made-for-television competitions, ballroom had the mothball aroma of a quaint, bygone era, when learning to waltz was part of one's social education, like etiquette classes and lessons in table manners. So take the ingredients of DWTS, the waltz and tango and rumba, put quarter-inch blades on the dancers, and get them moving at a much quicker clip. That's what is giving the sport its growing Dancing with the Stars-like power. Take it from a winner. "We've been saying it all year," says Meryl Davis, who with Charlie White...
...whether it is in a ballroom or on ice, should be to tell a compelling story. "The priority is definitely the chemistry, the actual bringing the dance to life," he says. "If it's the tango, I want to see the drama and the passion. If it's the rumba, I want to see the love. If it's the waltz, I want to see the flow." There was quite a bit of that passion on the ice at Vancouver's Pacific Coliseum, which bodes well for ice dancing's popularity at future Games. All the competitors need...

And if they dedicate themselves to it, they can compete in the city-wide dance-off at the end of the term. One kids sneers: "Music is corny. There's no feeling." To prove he's wrong, Pierre bends and blends. When someone proposes to mix the standards repertoire with a hip-hop beat, Pierre...
Though a newfound cultural obsession with ballroom dancing—most evident in the unlikely success of ABC’s summer reality show “Dancing With the Stars”—has recently made foxtrot, rumba, and paso doble household names, the most celebrated dance at Harvard remains the slightly less sophisticated drunken grind. Thankfully, some new steps will have a chance to make their inroads on campus at this weekend’s 15th Annual Harvard Invitational Ballroom Competition, hosted by the Harvard Ballroom Dance Team...
