  • Waltz, Foxtrot, American Style Tango, Country Western Two-Step, Viennese Waltz

Skills | Learn leading and following (partnering techniques), patterns and footwork, how not to step on your partner (tracking), finding and keeping the rhythm, knowing which dance goes with the music, safe and stylish underarm turns, dance positions (posture relative to one another), Cuban motion (that Latin hip motion that’s actually not all hips), and much more.
