Ok, I've been assigned to prepare a speech about the types and styles of dance. Seeing as I haven't got much information on the other types of dance, I thought I'd ask to see if anyone might enlighten me about Ballroom dancing and the many different dances included in it (i.e. Waltzes). I need enough information to cover about 2 minutes of a speech and to keep it interesting. Of course, backround info on this wouldn't be bad. Ballroom dancing is probably the one style of dance I am least familiar with. I'd appreciate any information given and if you'd like to email it to me, my email is angel_13_8@yahoo.com . Thanks.

Try googling ballroom dance history. A bunch of sites come up with lots of interesting information. The sites ending .edu are usually colleges, so the information will probably be accurate. Good luck with your speech!

Here are some awesome websites that can tell you all about ballroom:
