People found all different reasons to have a party. When ever a house was built it was automatically assumed that there would be a party or"racket".A "racket” would include a lot of dancing to "drive home the nails “this would be like a house warming gift.(Entertainment)A long time ago fun and entertainment had to do something with work. Examples of this include "cording frolics, quilting parties, and wood cutting sprees which were frequently held." Parties were often in the fall.

Dancing soon was seen as a sport.(Encyclopedia Of History: DANCE HALLS)During the early 1900's dancing was a large part of entertainment. Dancing for fun was influenced by "Irene and Vernon Castle” they started the trend at the start of WWI.For the richer people it was not considered proper to be at a saloon so they would often have a ballroom in their house. People who were not at the high end of the social scale would often go to the saloons for dancing.(Encyclopedia Of History: DANCE HALLS)
