Ballroom Dances

There are two distinct ballroom dance styles, the International and American styles. While our team primarily focuses on the International version, we try to maintain a healthy balance by encouraging our members to learn both styles. Below is a list of all the dances in each category. Click on the syllabus links to view the entire syllabus for each style. Click on the dance to view a video of this dance.*

*some video's may contain more than one dance-the number next to the dance indicated the time at which the given dance starts within a video.
