Latin Dances
Latin American dance is hot and sensual. Latin dancers are meant to been seen and dreamt of! As a beginner, it’s easy to learn the basics, but as you get more advanced Latin dance requires (and creates) a lot of flexibility, physical fitness and awareness of your body.
Cha Cha
Of Cuban origin, the cha-cha is danced to upbeat syncopations matched with the Latin hip movement. It is often described as cheeky, playful and fun.
Paso Doble
Based on French and Spanish influences, the Paso Doble represents the dramatic movement of a bullfight, which involves sharp and quick movements to build suspense.
Samba
Known as the dance of celebration, Samba is derived from Afro-Brazilian origin. The Samba requires the unique movement of a bounce action.
Jive
Originated in the USA, the Jive is a form of Swing Dance and has variations of the Jitterbug and Lindy Hop. Keeping you on your toes, it is considered the lively and energetic dance of the 1930s and 40s.
Rumba
The Rumba is the “slow dance” of the Latin category. The Cuban motion is danced with control to create the fluidity for this sensual and romantic style of dance.
Ballroom Dances
A highly individualistic style, Ballroom allows each couple to dance their own steps, and develop a unique style. Ballroom dancers have fantastic posture. It’s not difficult to learn as a beginner, with a few lessons enough to be able to get up at a social dance and have fun.
Waltz
Considered one of the most romantic styles of ballroom, the Waltz is the easiest of the dances to learn. The floating movement glides across the ballroom, and is a favourite amongst wedding couples.
Viennese Waltz
Described as a romantic and timeless dance, the Viennese Waltz requires constant rotation, turns and switching places between partners to create the graceful movement seen in social dances
Tango
Originating from Buenos Aires, the Tango involves strength and control between two people to match the staccato beats of the music. The sharp movements creates a dramatic and passionate spectacle.
Quickstep
Developed in the 1920’s, the Quickstep is fun, fast and involves intricate footwork to appear light and energetic. Elegant like the Foxtrot, the runs and hops in the Quickstep will definitely keep you on your toes!
Slow Foxtrot
The Slow Foxtrot is normally danced to jazz tones, and involves a continuous gliding movement across the floor. It can be danced to different tempos and is considered a graceful dance style.
