American Rhythm consists of: Cha-Cha, Rumba, East Coast Swing, Bolero, and Mambo. International Latin consists of: Cha-Cha, Rumba, Jive, Paso Doble,, and Samba. When comparing the two styles, the most obvious difference is that they each have some unique dances. However, all the dances in each style do differ from their counterparts, in subtle ways, mostly having to do with technique. You will find competitive events in each style. Smooth and Standard Dances There are two main categories when talking about Standard Dancing - The International Standard and American Smooth. The International Standard includes: Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, and Quickstep. This style is danced widely in competitions, both in the United States and throughout the world. The most obvious trait of the International Standard style is the dancers’ constant closed position, where the two dance partners never lose contact. The Standard dances are also characterized by their very precise elements of technique: footwork, rise & fall, amounts of turn, etc. From this technique emerges a unique elegance and beauty. The American Smooth dances consist of: Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz. In the American Smooth style, partners often separate from closed dance position, and dance apart from each other. American Smooth is quite popular at social dances, and is danced at major competition events across the UnitedStates. The ballroom dance steps in this expressive style are creative and can be extremely fun to dance and watch. Country Western Dances We have an entire Country Western Syllabus that teaches many of the popular dances. And for those of you who have aspirations of competition, these dances can be found at nearly every event that we attend. Dances are: Two-Step, Country Waltz, Swing, West Coast Swing, Texas Two-Step, Nightclub 2-Step, and Polka. |
