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:
“They’re semiotic phantoms, bits of deep cultural imagery that have split off and taken on a life of their own, like those Jules Verne airships that those old Kansas farmers were always seeing.... Semiotic ghosts. Fragments of the Mass Dream, whirling past in the wind of my passage.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
