Expert Solution

Introduction

Social dance refers to dance forms that are performed in social gatherings, such as parties, weddings, or other events, as a form of leisure and entertainment. As per symbolic interactionists, the main purpose of social dance is to allow people to interact with each other, have fun, and express themselves through movement. Social dance is a form of communication and expression that allows individuals to convey their emotions, attitudes, and intentions to others. For example, the way a couple moves together in a dance can convey intimacy, love, and trust, or the way a solo dancer moves to music can express confidence, joy, and freedom.
