Capoeira. You see, capoeira came to the US in the 60s. From there (NY) it spread. Capoeira was such an unusual thing to see and entertaining to watch that from these unusual movements and tricks came different ways of doing them. One of these ways evolved into b-boy (aka breakdance).
"Breakdancing" was further spread when James Brown and other notable individuals learned some capoeira (or at least learned from those who learned some capoeira) and used it in their performances. The tricks and style of it all was something to behold. What an unusual and cool thing to see. These performances helped "breackdancing" gain recognition in the US and beyond.
If you note (from on-line reading) breakdance first became popular in the 70s, not too long after capoeira was introduced.
In breakdancing you'll see spins, handstands, individuals gathered together in a circle and a basic dance move/rhythm before they execute their tricks. You'll also hear music that goes to that dance move/rhythm.
This all came from capoeira. If you watch capoeira, you note a great many similarities. The ginga (jing-ga) movement/rhythm, the music, the tricks (e.g. handspins, handstands, flips, etc.), even the circle itself.
All in all, breakdancing came from early versions of hip hop called b-boy, which in turn derived it's movements from the spins, handstands, and tricks used in capoeira rodas.

How many calories will dancing for 3 hours burn?
well it is said that in 1 hour a women of 130 lb will burn 265 calories so i answer is that if we times this by 3 then we should be able to get our answer but i must say people also burn calories at different rates so its best to just think this as an average result. 265 x 3 = 795 calories Also something that might help is that fast active dances dont usally aren't as effective its better to do slow dancing like Flamenco or ballroom which also tone your body at the same time. So i suggest joining your local dance class aswell.

The ammount of calories burnt depends on the type of dancing and the intensity too. Tap and hip-hop are good for calorie buring, both about 200-800 burnt per hour thus 600-2,400 for 3 hours. But these are not very good for things other than getting strong and buringin calories, ballet is on the other hand good for both of those and flexibility, balance and posture/form.
Why are there only 3 beats in waltz?
In the 19th and early 20th century, numerous different waltz forms existed, including versions performed in 2/4 or 6/8 (sauteuse), and 5/4 time (5/4 waltz, half and half). Now, waltzes are primarily in 3/4 timing. This is the conventional way in which they are written - especially because a waltz is a dance, and it is practically impossible to dance in a waltzing manner to a piece that is in 4/4 timing.

Is there a way to prevent an injury if you belly dance?
PROPER POSTURE!!
Feet parallel and about hip width apart, knees slightly bent, lower abs engaged, chest lifted, shoulders back and down.
If you for get all that, never lock your knees, and keep your lower abs tight.
Never forget to breathe, drink lots of water, and LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!!
If you feel pain ADJUST or ABORT.
I always tell my students "This is your class, not mine. This is for you, not for me. You know your body better than I do, so if you feel like you have to stop - then stop, take a drink of water, and join us when you feel ready again."
If you have preexisting injuries that are not dance related, consider wearing a brace, or support for that area.
