Dance Descriptions
FOX TROT
This dance is considered to be the standard of all the social dances.
It is a walking dance with 4/4 timing. This is a Smooth, Ballroom dance with a Box foundation which makes it easy to learn.
Foxtrots are the most popular, slow dance played at social affairs. If you like Frank Sinatra…You will love this dance course!!!! Everyone should learn this one.
WALTZ
This is another Smooth, Ballroom dance but with 3 beats in a music measure.
It is a beautiful, elegant, romantic dance with lovely rise & fall. Dancers can do stationary Waltz and/or travel with this dance. Waltz is my favorite dance!
Some songs include..
“Sunrise Sunset” (Fiddler on the roof)
TANGO
The Tango is one of the most beautiful of all the dances. It’s earthy & dramatic.
One assumes the posture of a gaucho in frame with the gent pursuing the gal while traveling on the dance floor. It is very sexy & very expressive.
If you saw “Scent of a woman”…you saw this danced by Al Pacino. whoa!
SAMBA
This is another Latin dance with a front & back motion. It is the national
dance of Brazil. It is a specialty dance. If you are traveling to RIO..take this one!
Rhumba
Rhumba is the basis for the Salsa & Cha Cha. It is a slower, Romantic, Latin dance
with 4/4 timing. The cuban motion in this dance is so much fun. This is a spot dance opposed to a traveling one…very close..very romantic..played very often
at social parties. The moves in this dance are wonderful!
SALSA
This one has become extremely popular. It gives dancers a wild feeling within.
It stems from a combination of American Jazz & Cuban music…a fantastic music explosion. It is a HOT dance!!!! Salsa is played & danced everywhere now.
A spot dance (non-traveling) with 4 beats…”Mambo Kings”, “Ricky Martin” etc.
Merengue
A fun, easy dance to learn. It does travel down line of dance( this is counter clockwise around the dance floor) … as well as
having stationary moves. It has an 8 count beat. My husband loves this one!
CHA CHA
Probably the most popular Latin Dance in the USA! This dance does not travel.
Cha Cha is played when out, quite often. It is fun to dance to & fun to watch.
I love this dance. The timing & moves are inredible.
SWING
Every person in the world should learn to “Swing dance”…it is too much fun, great exercise, danced all the time, & played constantly!!! It does not travel…it is easy to learn…the music is great. This dance makes you just plain feel great! Call it the Jitterbug, Lindy, East Coast Swing…but…whatever YOU call it…LEARN IT NOW! You will dance this one forever.
HUSTLE
This is a touching, connected dance as is the SWING. It is danced to “DISCO” music which is awesome. If you like John Travalto & his dancing…this one is for YOU. It is similar to Swing, but faster & only disco music will do. I love it!
