Ballad Foxtrot

The foxtrot is a smooth, progressive dance characterized by long, continuous flowing movements across the dance floor.

 Bolero

Bolero is a dance from the Spanish tradition. It is a slow, sensuous dance done to rhythmic Latin music. The dancers appear as that of matadors in the bull ring.

Cha Cha

Cha Cha can be danced to current popular Latin music as well as fun party dance tunes.

 East Coast Swing - Double Timing

East Coast Swing can be referred to by many different names in different regions of the United States and the World. It has alternatively been called Eastern Swing, Jitterbug, American Swing, East Coast Lindy, Lindy (not to be confused with Lindy Hop), and Triple Swing. Other variants of East Coast Swing that use altered footwork forms are known as Single Swing or "Single-step Swing" (where the triple step is replaced by a single step forming a slow, slow, quick, quick rhythm common to Foxtrot), and Double Swing (using a tap-step footwork. pattern).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Coast_Swing

The examples below are Double East Coast Swing which is good for fast and slow music. It is versatile and a little easier to learn than the Triple Swing.

 Salsa Dance

Salsa is popular in nightclubs, bars, ballrooms, restaurants, and outside, many times at outdoor events or festivals. It is a high energy dance that is lots of fun to do and great exercise as well.

Ballroom Tango

Tango can appear to be a playful dance between two people. It is a passionate dance, and sometimes looks like a power struggle is going on in a sassy sexy way. Ballroom Tango is very different from the Argentine Tango.

 

Night Club Two Step

Nightclub two step (NC2S, sometimes disco two step or California two step) is a partner dance initially developed by Buddy Schwimmer in the mid-1960s. The dance is also known as "Two Step" and was "one of the most popular forms of contemporary social dance" as a Disco Couples Dance in 1978. It is frequently danced to mid-tempo ballads in 4/ 4 time that have a characteristic quick-quick-slow beat. A classic example is the song Lady In Red. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightclub_two_step

 

 Waltz

The American Waltz is similar to the International style except it has both open and closed dance positions. This allows the American style dancer a unique freedom of expression, including the ability to showcase character and theatrical presentation.
