 Social dance is a "classification of dance styles, where sociability and socializing are the primary focus".
 Some social dances include: ballroom dance, folk dance, square dance, line dance, and even club dancing.
 These are meant to be fun, and are not intended as competition or performance dances.

 Jazz clubs were in large rooms in the eras of Orchestral jazz and big band jazz, when bands were large and often augmented by a string section.
 Large rooms were also more common in the Swing era, because at that time, jazz was popular as a dance music, so the dancers needed space to move.
 With the transition to 1940s-era styles like Bebop and later styles such as soul jazz, small combos of musicians such as quartets and trios were mostly used, and the music became more of a music to listen to, rather than a form of dance music.
 As a result, smaller clubs with small stages became practical.
