What is a "promenade"?

In dance, a promenade is a movement where the dancers move forward together in a specific pattern, often in a ballroom setting. During a promenade, the dancers typically hold each other in a close position, such as in a ballroom hold, and travel across the floor in a smooth, gliding motion. The movement can involve a turn or change of direction, where the couple progresses around the dance floor while maintaining a coordinated and elegant appearance. The promenade is commonly used in various ballroom dances, including the waltz and the foxtrot, to create a flowing and graceful effect.
