Dancing
The concept of dancing as a hobby and social interaction goes back to the beginning of European empires. The idea of dancing carries on into the colonial times and the revolution of the United States of America. When looking at dancing in the newspaper archives there wasn't many social events reported on or reflections of the type of dancing of the time. But there were many adds or announcements of dance lessons or dance instructors to take prep from. also what I found that was interesting is the adds or announcements weren't just in one region they were all over the country in the union and rebuilding confederacy. Here is an add for a dance academies written in the New York Herald in 1875
