One of the dances that managed to completely change the landscape of dance history is polka! This energetic dance that was focused for young women that liked to jump, hop and turn swept across the world in mid-19th century.
Muscular strength
Dancers have increased muscular strength, endurance and motor fitness. (No wonder professional dancers are today regarded as athletes.)
Destructors
Many historical waves of dances were perceived as the "destructors" of the old way of dance. Examples of that can be found in the 1920's Charleston and the era of Rock music.
