About Ballroom

Ballroom dance is a family of elegant and energetic partner dances performed socially and competitively worldwide, encompassing the Smooth dances — Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Viennese Waltz, and Quickstep — and the Latin dances including Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, Paso Doble, and Jive. Originating in European social dance traditions and enriched by African and Latin American rhythms, Ballroom today is practiced for recreation, competition, fitness, and performance across all ages and cultures. It is one of the most rewarding activities for couples, developing partnership, musical awareness, posture, coordination, and social confidence simultaneously. Competitive Ballroom, known as DanceSport, is governed by World Dance Council standards and recognized internationally as an athletic discipline. Studios throughout the United States offer group classes, private lessons, practice parties, and competition preparation for complete beginners through advanced competitors.
