On the last night before the students leave for Christmas vacation, the school semi-formal dance is held. As St. Joseph lacks a football team and thus has no homecoming dance, this dance holds much prestige among the students.

The club also became involved in an incident of racial prejudice.

Lindy Hop combined a number of dances popular in the United States in the 1920s and earlier, many of which developed in African American communities. Just as jazz music emerged as a dominant art form that could absorb and integrate other forms of music, Lindy Hop could absorb and integrate other forms of dance. This hybridity is characteristic of vernacular dances, in which forms and steps are adapted and developed to suit the social and cultural needs of its participants in everyday spaces. Therefore, Lindy Hop was not originally the creative or economic project of formal dance academies or institutions.

District-level positions are often elected at annual District conventions (usually held during March, April, or May), where Key Club members, advisers, Kiwanis members, and guests are in attendance. Activities often include forums and workshops, facilitated by the District Board; awards and recognition ceremonies; a Governor's ball or banquet; a less formal dance; a keynote speaker; and several general sessions for remaining convention business. Caucuses, or questioning periods, are held to elect the new District Executive Officers (governor, secretary, treasurer, editor, webmaster, etc.) for the upcoming service year. Many Districts brand their conventions differently in order to better reflect event goals.

Today's corsages are similar to those made in previous decades, though generally smaller. It is still customary for a male to give his female date a corsage when attending a formal dance, but they are also sometimes given to a daughter attending a formal event by her parents or worn by the mothers and grandmothers of the bride and groom at a wedding. Wives and any surviving mothers typically wear corsages at Anniversary celebrations; generally, the flowers are the same as what was used at the wedding, with ribbons indicating the milestone, (i.e. silver for 25th, red for 40th).

In addition to the Ratline, VMI has other traditions that are emblematic of the school and its history including the new cadet oath ceremony, the pageantry of close-order marching, and the nightly playing of "Taps". An event second only to graduation in importance is the "Ring Figure" dance held every November. During their junior year, cadets receive class rings at a ring presentation ceremony followed by a formal dance. Most cadets get two rings, a formal ring and a combat ring; some choose to have the combat ring for everyday wear, and the formal for special occasions.

She taught exercises based on her idea of natural body movement; this was movement that did not require formal dance technique. She started with her students on the floor and then progressed to standing positions. She was interested in how the body reacted to the "structural changes of position of the body" and "self generated creativity". She wanted her students to express their own ideas and feelings through movement, often asking them to describe their movements in scientific terms. After coming up with her theory of teaching dance, she wrote Manual of Dancing: Suggestions and Bibliography for the Teacher of Dancing in 1921.

A typical Dappankuthu Dappan Koothu (also known as Dappanguthu, or simply koothu) is a folk dance and music genre with an emphasis on percussion performed in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is one of several popular genres employed in film music, mainly in Tamil cinema and other South films, filmed and produced by people of Tamil culture. Unlike classical Indian dances such as bharatanatyam or kathakali, koothu is relatively informal in that it has no structured, repeated steps and dancers do not learn through formal dance classes. It shares its emphasis on percussion with older folk dances of Tamil Nadu, such as kummi and kolattam.

Contributions to charitable organizations are deductible to the donor, unless the donee organization uses any of its net earnings to benefit a private shareholder, or if it attempts to in any way influence political campaigns or legislation. A contribution to a charitable organization need not be fully a "gift" in the statutory sense of the word to be deductible to the donor. The donor's allowable deduction will be reduced, however, by the amount of the "substantial benefit" conferred upon them as a result of their contribution. To illustrate, suppose that the American Cancer Society is hosting a formal dance as a fund-raiser (the ACS is a certified charitable organization).

Prior to the Civil Rights Movement, African American students of dance were not allowed to join classical ballet classes in Philadelphia because of the color of their skin. Some students studied ballet through private lessons and only a handful of studios, mostly in New York City, would admit black students to special, all black classes. Cuyjet, however, with her fair-skinned complexion was able to enroll at the Philadelphia Ballet Company, which did not admit black students at that time, and studied there until her identity was revealed after a performance.

José Gutiérrez was born and raised in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, his parents having emigrated from the Dominican Republic. During his youth the neighborhood was a hotbed of raw creative energy, giving rise to the new wave music scene, the emergence of DJ culture, the development of the graffiti / street art movement, and the growing popularity of drag culture and entertainment. This creative environment would influence the way Jose perceived the world around him and the opportunities it presented for his own creative energy. As a child he was recognized for his natural dance ability and enrolled in a program of formal dance education, sponsored through the New York City Department of Education.

The cultural history of the Telugu people indicates the existence of two formal dance streams — Purusha Sampradaayam is performed by men, and Stree Sampradaayam is performed by women. References to a Sthree Sampradayam abound in the archival, epigraphic and literary sources, establishing the vital artistic presence of female singer-dancers in temples, royal courts and public theatres, certainly from the 10th century AD. They were referred to by several terms including Vilasini, Swamini and Bhogini, (colloquially Saani and Bogam) and their troupes termed Chinna Melam or Nattuva Melam. By mid 20th century, these artists were called the Kalavantulu, a term that derives from Kalavati (a woman who excels in the arts). When the Anti-Devadasi Dedication Act was passed, the consecration of singer-dancers in temples was banned.

The 1940s brought many changes to the University of Redlands particularly with the onset of direct U.S. involvement in World War II. As conscription and enlistments for the war depleted classes, courses were set up for the soldiers at Camp Haan and March Field. The July 1, 1943, arrival of a Navy V-12 unit, composed of 631 men for officer candidate training, along with a civilian enrollment of 473 women and 110 men, was Redlands’ largest enrollment ever, and gradually led to the easing of social restrictions. Military men were not required to attend chapel, and on New Year's Eve the Marines clandestinely held the first impromptu dance ever on the campus. Two months later, the Navy held the first formal dance on the commons, and the trustees finally discarded the "no dancing" policy in 1945, after the Redlands V-12 unit had been disbanded.Moore, Frank E. "Redlands, Our Town" Moore Historical Foundation, Redlands, California, 1987 The passage of the G.I. Bill further opened the doors at Redlands. By special action of Congress, housing units for 50 veterans' families ("Vets' Village") were installed on campus. Of the 219 graduates of June 1949, 126 were veterans, 70 of whom were married. The 1950s saw other changes.
