Cultural Milestones
In the Jewish community, Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrations often involve dances.
Dances are common for Quinceañeras, sweet sixteen parties and débutante celebrations. Some of these coming of age events involve a father-daughter dance.
At wedding receptions, the newlywed couple may opt to have a first dance (before all guests are invited to participate on the dance floor).
A dance party that is gaining popularity is the Bollywood dance party, featuring music from Hindi cinema from India. The first Bollywood dance party to span the entire west coast of the United States is called Jai Ho! which is produced by Bollywood Dreams Entertainment and DJ'd by Prashant Kakad.

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:
“Unfortunately there is still a cultural stereotype that it’s all right for girls to be affectionate but that once boys reach six or seven, they no longer need so much hugging and kissing. What this does is dissuade boys from expressing their natural feelings of tenderness and affection. It is important that we act affectionately with our sons as well as our daughters.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
