Dance Information

Also see the dance It's Just For Fun by Roy Fidler.

The phrase "just for fun" is a common expression in English that refers to doing something with no serious purpose or practical outcome, simply for enjoyment or amusement.

Its usage in everyday speech dates back to at least the early 20th century, and it is often applied to activities undertaken without the intention of gaining profit, achieving a goal, or meeting an obligation. The term is informal and widely used in social contexts, particularly to describe light-hearted behaviour, games, hobbies, or experiments.

It appears in spoken language, literature, advertising, and online platforms, and is typically understood in both British and American English without need for explanation.
