 What is it ?

BALLROOM AND SOCIAL DANCE

The word “Ballroom” is derived from the word “ball” (a large room) and “ballare” which
means to dance. It is an activity that one can enjoy at any age both socially and competitively
around the world. The popularity of competitive dancing began in the early 1920’s. As a result,
the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (formerly known as The Imperial Society of Dance
Teachers) formed a Ballroom Branch whose function was to standardized the ballroom dances.

Dancesport is a combination of art and sport. It was called competitive ballroom dancing in
the past. This goes with partners (male and lady) competing against other partners dancing on the
floor at one time.

As you engage in moderate to vigorous physical activity such as dancing you need
to observe personal safety protocol to avoid certain conditions such as
dehydration, overexertion hypo- and hyperthermia.
Each of this condition should be taken seriously because it possesses
health risk. These conditions are usually associated with different types of
environment, like hot or cold environment.

DEHYDRATION is a serious condition that occurs when fluid loss is greater than
what has been taken in, and the body’s normal functions become impaired
because of this. Symptoms of dehydration include increased thirst, a dry mouth
or swollen tongue, weakness, dizziness, palpitations, confusion, sluggishness or
fainting, the inability to sweat, and decreased urine output.

Dehydration makes you vulnerable to heat disorders or illnesses such as heat

fatigue, and worse, heat stroke. (Urbiztondo, 2018)

OVEREXERTION is when a person push himself too hard. This involves physical
or mental effort that’s beyond their current abilities.
Source: Overexertion Definition, Signs and Symptoms, Prevention (healthline.com)

HYPOTHERMIA is a potentially dangerous drop in body temperature, usually

caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperatures. The risk of cold exposure
increases as the winter months arrive. But if you're exposed to cold temperatures
on a spring hike or capsized on a summer sail, you can also be at risk of
hypothermia.
Normal body temperature averages 98.6 degrees. With hypothermia, core
temperature drops below 95 degrees. In severe hypothermia, core body
temperature can drop to 82 degrees or lower.

Source: Hypothermia: Signs, Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment (webmd.com)

HYPERTHEMIA refers to several conditions that can occur when your body’s
heat-regulation system can’t handle the heat in your environment.
You’re said to have severe hyperthermia if your body temperature is above
104°F (40°C). By comparison, a body temperature of 95°F (35°C) or lower is
considered hypothermic. The average body temperature is 98.6°F (37°C).

Learning Task 4

Although the human body has a natural cooling system through which the skin and blood
vessels adjust to temperature through the evaporation of sweat, exercising in hot environments
may overwhelm your body’s ability to disperse heat.
The increase in your body temperature puts you at risk for heat-related illnesses such as
dehydration, heat cramps, exhaustion, dizziness and worse, heatstroke.

1. What do you think are the signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses?
2. What should we do to avoid the heat-related illness while dancing?
