Ballroom Dancing was not necessarily invented by one person. Ballroom dancing includes a wide variety of different dance. Like any other dancing, Ballroom dance is a way of expressing an idea or feeling. Different dances originated from different cultures. For example, the Merengue orininated in the Dominican Republic.
They would not have called them "ballroom dances", but there were a number of dances which were performed at court and at other upper class functions. Most of these dances involved pairing off with partners at least part of the time. The Galliard and Gavotte were athletic dances, as was the Volta, which involved the female partner, supported by the male, leaping into the air! The Pavane, on the other hand, was a slow, stately dance. Dancing was also popular among the lower classes, but their dances, such as Jigs or Brawls, were not danced with partners, but more often in a ring.
yes. In the United States most studios will start you off with social dancing. It sounds less technical and formal. Also, it allows people to dance with each other in waltz for example while not requiring body contact. However, the patterns are the same between social or ballroom dancing.
There are two related forms known as Morris Dancing. There are the various traditional dances of the British Isles which are collectively known as "Morris Dancing". These include quite a variety of dance forms including Cotswold, Border, North-West, Rapper, and Sword dancing. Some of these types have more of a male tradition, others more a female, but today dancers of both sexes can be found dancing all forms. Dancers can be found performing these dances all over the UK and in many other countries across the world. Their origins seem to be in 14th Century Courtly dances and relatives of Morris dancing can be found surviving across Europe. There is the type also known as Carnival or "Fluffy" Morris which involves mainly groups of girls dancing processional forms that originated from North-West Morris dancing. Girls have dresses, shakers (pom poms) and pumps with bells on. They go to competitions every week, then after the Christmas term train until march. Woody Malmesbury Morris

there is ballet, lyrical, modern, tap, jazz, and hip hop taught at most dance studios; however there is also break dancing, samba, waltz, chacha, salsa, and other ballroom dances
Try the tango or the salsa, or other ballroom dances like that.
You can go all around to ballroom dance. Depending on where you are from, your area should have a ballroom dance web site that has links to the dance schools locally such as http://www.ballroomdancingdirectory.com or http://ballroomdancers.com .
No, it is not. Ballroom dancing originated as any other dance form, as a source of recreation, chiefly associated with the upper classes of novelty. But presently, it is practiced by people from all classes.

Philippine Dances includes various folk dances from different tribal groups of the country. Although modern dances are rampant, the preservation of the native and local dances are no match when it comes to uniqueness and skill needs.
there are two main categories that ballroom dance is divided into: Ballroom/standard and Latin American. Ballroom/Standard has five dances within its category that are the Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep, Tango and the Viennesse Waltz, the Latin American category also has five dances that are the Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba Paso Doble and the Jive (the Jive is why its Latin AMERICAN, not just Latin) theres other dances known as sequence dances that are in two categories as well, New Vogue and Old Time/Classical Sequence. in these groups i cannot remember how many dances are in each, nor am I going to attempt to name them but what makes them different is that all the dancers have the one routine, there is no variation on it and they are judged in copetitions by floor prescence, footwork, posture etc. Hope i helped.
