Dance Styles

FOXTROT
Is a basic dance from which you can acquire a good foundation. Today it is still the most popular of all social dances. Some people refer to the Foxtrot as the “Slow Dance” or the “Two-Step” because of it’s closeness and conversation ability at the same time. The Foxtrot is good for developing “smoothness’ and “ease of movement”.

WALTZ
The “mother of all dances”. Waltz was the first dance in which a woman was actually held in a man’s arms. The Waltz develops “graceful movements” and “poise”. Every wedding, reception, social “black-tie” formal includes waltz steps. At our Sydney dance school we can even teach you the waltz for your wedding day.
TANGO
Although widely believed to have originated in Argentina, it actually may have come from Spain. It’s dramatic, exciting and is known as the “Dancers” dance. The Tango with all it’s staccato movements, greatly improves a man’s lead or a woman’s ability to follow. Tango also develops a “strong sense of feeling” for music.

CHA CHA
One of the most popular Latin dances, Cha Cha began as a variation of the Mambo called Triple Mambo. It was so easy and so much fun it became the rage of the 1950’s. It’s infectious one-two, one-two-three rhythm demands that sitters become dancers. It’s a must style to know. It’s a style that all of our students at our Sydney dance school must know!

SALSA
A faster version of the Mambo laced with steps from other Latin dances. The Salsa is performed to a fiery, quick tempo. Some call it a Latinized ‘Rock N Roll’. It is a high energy dance and lots of fun to do.
