DANCE STYLES

Waltz
The Waltz is often considered one of the easiest ballroom styles to learn. It has a simple, slow, and graceful 3/4 timing (1-2-3) and basic patterns that are easy to follow, especially for couples. The flowing movements make it a great starting point for beginners.

Foxtrot
The Foxtrot has a smooth, elegant quality and features a simple walking rhythm (slow-slow-quick-quick). Its relaxed tempo makes it easy to grasp, and it helps build skills that translate to many other ballroom styles.

Tango
Tango is a dramatic and passionate dance with sharp, staccato movements. It focuses on close connection and precise footwork, making it unique compared to smoother styles like Waltz or Foxtrot. While Tango can be more intense to learn, its basic timing and strong rhythms make it manageable for beginners.

Rumba
The Rumba is a romantic Latin dance known for its smooth movements and expressive partner connection. With a slow-quick-quick rhythm and simple footwork, it offers a perfect introduction to Latin technique and timing. Its slower tempo allows beginners to focus on coordination, balance, and musicality.

Cha Cha
The Cha Cha is a playful and rhythmic dance. It has a basic 1-2-3 Cha-Cha-Cha pattern that, once learned, can be applied to many steps. Its upbeat tempo makes it an enjoyable option for beginners.

Swing (East Coast Swing)
East Coast Swing is fun, lively, and less formal than other ballroom styles. Its basic triple-step pattern is easy to pick up, and the energy of swing music adds to its accessibility for beginners.

Salsa
Salsa is a lively, energetic dance that blends Latin rhythms with smooth, flowing movements. Its quick footwork, syncopated timing (quick-quick-slow), and partner connection make it both exciting and accessible for beginners. Salsa’s fun and social nature ensures it remains a popular choice for many dancers.

Hustle
The Hustle is a fast-paced, disco-inspired dance that emerged in the 1970s and remains popular at social events and nightclubs. With a slot-based structure and energetic turn patterns, Hustle is both stylish and beginner-friendly. It’s typically danced to pop or disco music and is a great fit for dancers who love rhythm, momentum, and flair.
