Usage notes
- Use danza for the art form or a specific dance event; ballo is more common for social dancing and dance parties.
- For styles, Italian often says danza classica/contemporanea, not *balletto* or English-style genre labels in many contexts.
- With classes and study, say fare danza or studiare danza; avoid translating literally as *praticare danza* in everyday speech.
