DANCE STYLES

Waltz
The Waltz is a graceful and flowing dance characterized by its 3/4 timing (1-2-3). Known for its smooth rise and fall, it is one of the easiest ballroom dances to learn, making it perfect for beginners.

Foxtrot
Foxtrot is a smooth and elegant dance with a relaxed walking rhythm (slow-slow-quick-quick). It’s often danced to big band and jazz music, helping dancers develop fluid movement and partner connection.

Tango
Ballroom Tango is a passionate and dramatic dance with sharp, staccato movements. Its strong rhythmic structure and close partner connection make it a distinctive style that contrasts with the flowing nature of Waltz and Foxtrot.

Quickstep
Quickstep is an upbeat and lively dance that features fast footwork, light movements, and a playful energy. While less common in social settings, it’s an exciting style that brings an element of fun to ballroom dance.

Cha-Cha
The Cha-Cha is a fun and flirtatious dance with a signature rhythm of 2-3-4 & 1 (Cha-Cha-Cha). Its syncopated steps and lively energy make it an enjoyable and accessible Latin dance for social settings.

Rumba
Rumba is a slow, romantic dance that emphasizes body movement, connection, and expressive styling. Its deliberate pace makes it a great introduction to Latin motion and musicality.

Salsa
Salsa is a vibrant and energetic dance with quick footwork and syncopated timing (quick-quick-slow). Its dynamic nature, club-style feel, and emphasis on partner connection make it a favorite for social dancing.

Bachata
Bachata is a popular social dance with a simple step pattern and a smooth, relaxed feel. Known for its easy-to-learn basic steps, it allows for creative styling and close partner connection.

Merengue
Merengue is one of the easiest Latin dances to learn, featuring a simple marching step and hip motion. Its lively, repetitive rhythm makes it a great entry point for beginners.

Hustle
The Hustle is a high-energy partner dance that emerged from the disco era. With smooth spins and a fast, syncopated rhythm, it’s versatile enough to be danced to many modern pop and club songs.
