Dance Word Search
This dance word search holds forty words from the studio and the ballroom: ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop, the waltz, the tango and the salsa, the plie, the pirouette and the barre.
Ballet grew up in the courts of Renaissance Italy and was set down in France, where King Louis XIV, a keen dancer himself, founded the Royal Academy of Dance in 1661. That is why the steps still have French names in every country: plie means bent, pirouette means a spinning top, and dancing on pointe means on the tips of the toes. The barre is the wooden rail along the studio wall that dancers hold for their warm-up.
Breaking began at block parties in the Bronx in the 1970s, where DJs stretched the drum break of a record so dancers could spin on the floor, and it became an Olympic sport at the Paris Games in 2024. The tango grew up in the port neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and Montevideo in the late 1800s. When the waltz reached England in the early 1800s, many people found it shocking, because the partners held each other close the whole time.
