BALLROOM DANCES

Ballroom dancing is a partnership dance where couples, using step-patterns, move

rhythmically, expressing the characteristics of music. Ballroom dancing consists of two
styles: the Smooth, or Standard, and the Rhythm, or Latin. The Smooth, Standard style
focuses on the elegance, grace and fluidity of movement. Dancers rotate in a
counter-clockwise direction, moving around the entire floor. The couple is constantly
moving on the dance floor, transitioning from one place to the next in a fixed pattern.
The Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz and Quickstep are danced in this manner.

The Rhythm, Latin style focuses on a display of vibrant energy and a personal flair. The
couple’s dancing pattern is syncopated to the rhythm of the music. The couple usually
dances in one spot of the dance floor. Included in this style are the East Coast Swing,
Jive, Rumba, Bolero, Cha Cha, Mambo, Samba and Paso Doble.

Popular dances, such as the Argentine Tango, Salsa, Merengue, West Coast Swing,
Hustle, Bachata, Night Club 2-Step and County and Western Dancing, are more recent
additions to the world of Ballroom dance.

Across the globe people enjoy and appreciate the social and competitive character of
ballroom dancing. These 5 ballroom dances are seen not only on dance floors but also
on stages, in movies, and on television.

Arguably, the five most popular Ballroom dances in the world are: Waltz, Swing,
Rumba, Cha Cha and Foxtrot. Dancers proficient in these five styles can dance
with partners from anywhere else in the world.
