Dance Styles
This may help you understand what dance or dances you will want to try.
The Smooth Dances
Most ballroom dances travel counterclockwise around the floor. They require as much, or more, strength and control as the rhythm dances. The smooth dances can be real calorie burners!Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz
The Rhythm Dances
The rhythm dances, also known as the Latin dances, are typically the first dances requested. Fueled by movies (such as Dirty Dancing, Havana Nights, and Dance With Me), these fast rhythms are associated with Salsa, Swing, and Cha-Cha. However, the slow tempo dances like Bolero and Rumba can also provide just as much fun and exercise.
