History Section Clarity[edit]

The history section contains the sentence In turn, rock and roll ironically because the ubiquitous dance genre of the 1960s. There in no proper verb in that sentence, and because of it I do not understand it or the sentence that comes after nearly coinciding with the rise of DJ-based dancefloors which rapidly displaced live bands. which oddly lacks a noun, joining the sentences doesn't clarify the meaning to any great degree. The original contributor has been banned from editing wikipedia (presumably for unrelated reasons) which makes determining the intent difficult. If anyone can clarify those sentences that would be quite beneficial to the article, otherwise removal of those sentences may be neccesary.

Possible merge material[edit]

I found this in partner dance - use if you see value.

Nowadays, a very popular form of partner dancing among youth is "slow dancing," and how close the partners get is up to them, although lovers are more likely to dance closely than friends. In the "hug-and-sway" version of slow dancing, the man usually puts his arms around the female's waist, while the female puts her arm on the man's shoulders. Some serious dancers do not consider "slow dancing" to be really a dance at all, but this is a very popular form of slow dance for middle school parties. The music used for slow dancing is usually those of a slower tempo (usually 90 BPM and below^[1]), such as slow jam.

The term "slow dance" may also refer to an established form of dance that involves slower movements, such as slow waltz.
