Ballroom & Latin American
The recent success of Strictly Come Dancing has brought Ballroom dancing to the forefront.
There are 5 Ballroom dances – Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Quick Step and Viennese Waltz, and there are 5 Latin American dances - Cha Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Jive and Paso Doble.
The elegance and grace of Ballroom dancing appeals to all ages, and progress through learning the technique of each dance can be very fulfilling. It is one of the most popular styles of dance and you can become either a fun social dancer, or a competitive dancer – the choice is yours.
The Waltz with its grace, the Tango with its sharp Latin influence, the Foxtrot with its blues and jazz influence, the Quick Step with it swing and quick timing, and the Viennese Waltz with its influence from Strauss – all of these elements make Ballroom dancing a huge favourite with many people.
It would be hard to forget the image of those sexy ladies from Strictly Come Dancing. The amazing popularity of Latin American dancing is easily understood once you start dancing it.
The Cha Cha Cha with its infectious Cuban beat; the Samba with its fun, Brazilian carnival feeling; the Rumba with its slow, sultry sexy moves; the Paso Doble depicting the spirit of the bull-fight (the man being the matador and the lady being the cape); and the Jive with its roots in Lindy Hop and Swing – all make Latin American dancing an exciting and exhuberant experience.
