The Smooth Dances:
Smooth dances are characterized by their fluid movement
across the floor. Similar to ice skating, dancers keep a
straight bodyline as they travel around the room.
Foxtrot
The foxtrot is ultra-smooth and sophisticated, and is one of
the most popular slow dances of all time. Classic musicians
such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Nat King Cole
provide the jazzy standards ideal for this dance.
Waltz
The Waltz is expressed to a three count, the waltz is an
elegant and graceful dance that will never go out of style.
This traditional dance has continued to rise in popularity
at weddings, anniversaries and graduations.
Tango
The Tango is a dramatic and passionate dance has been
popularized in many Hollywood movies. The tango conjures up
images of dancers with roses clenched between their teeth.
Quickstep
Get ready to hop, skip and kick your way around the floor!
Part Charleston, part foxtrot, the very quick and lively
quickstep will leave you breathless after even one dance.
Viennese Waltz
Couples whirl around the floor; first one way, then another.
This dance is grand and majestic, a fast version of this
waltz originated in Austria.
The Rhythm Dances:
Unlike smooth dances, rhythm dances generally stay in a
smaller, confined area of the dance floor. As the name
suggests, the rhythmical nature of these dances allow you to
really get loose on the dance floor. Here are a few
examples:
Rumba
The rumba is Cuban in origin and is often referred to as
the "dance of love". Sultry and romantic, the music is a mix
of African and Latin rhythms.
Cha Cha
The Cha Cha is named after the sound made by the feet
when doing this dance; the Cha Cha is an exciting syncopated
Latin dance. The Cha Cha rhythm is found in much of today’s
popular music.
Swing
Swing is a broad category that includes jive, jitterbug,
lindy hop and shag among others. Swing is fun, fast and
energetic and has recently enjoyed a huge revival.
Mambo/Salsa
This spicy Latin dance from Cuba is also known as salsa.
Sometimes referred to as "the dancer’s dance", mambo
requires excellent timing and coordination.
Samba
From Brazil, this pulsating, gyrating, festive dance brings
to mind pictures of the carnivals of Rio de Janeiro. Unlike
the other Latin dances that are stationary, many samba steps
travel around the floor.
