The “ballroom dancing” we know today has roots going back to jazz dances in the 20th century. These dances quickly rose in popularity, and a wave to popularize these dances was born. American styles of ballroom dancing can be broken down into two categories: American Smooth and American Rhythm.

• Waltz – A fluid dance to a slower 1-2-3 rhythm
• Tango – Dramatic stalking steps with sharp contrasts between movements
• Viennese Waltz – A more flowing waltz danced to a quicker 1-2-3
• Foxtrot – Similar to Astaire and Rogers dancing, although the steps can be different

• Cha-Cha – Fast footwork that is flirty and rhythmic
• Rumba – Subtle hip motion that is sensual and smooth
• Bolero – Extremely similar to the American Rumba, the bolero is slowed down even more with sweeping contrasts between bending and straightening the legs
• Mambo – The Mambo is classic salsa, but danced to a different beat
• Swing – Some West Coast Swing built upon East Coast Swing. American Rhythm Swing is an ideal dance to learn for beginners
