Harmony in motion: the evolution and significance of sport ballroom dance

Abstract

Sport ballroom dance is a form of dance art that is actively developing. It combines choreography and elements of sports, making it unique in its kind. In sport dances, where the assessment of artistic expression is already a standard practice, it is based on the same principles as the assessment of performance technique. Each movement is evaluated separately and then summed up to get an overall impression of the performance. This approach is also used by researchers to determine the criteria for artistic evaluation and the objectivity of judging.
