a dance at the end of which the dancing couples kiss, popular at New Year's parties.
- 1896  The ball closed with the kissing dance, a ceremony I did not stay to witness.
- 1923  There were the Reel of Four and the Duck Dance, the Rabbit Dance and the Handkerchief Dance, the Kissing Dance and the Drops of Brandy, but the favourite was the simple, old-time Square Dance.
