From traditional to contemporary style, Shall We Dance Studios caters dance lessons to the Sweet Sixteen and Quinceañera’s personal vision and theme. Using the music of her choice, we offer Ballroom and Latin dance instruction on numerous styles of dance including the Waltz, Cha Cha, Hustle, Tango, Swing, Merengue, Bachata, Rumba and more.

Considered the mother of present day dances, the Waltz began in southern Germany in the 17th century. The popularity of the Waltz grew with the music of Johann Strauss and eventually blossomed in the 20th century. It is the basis for many dances and is popular today all over the world.

The Tango began in the West Indies and found its way to Argentina where it was stylized by the Gauchos. It became the rage in 1921 after the silent screen star Rudolph Valentino brought this romantic dance to millions in “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.”

This national dance of Brazil became the rage of society in the 1930’s, but began as an exhibition dance in Paris in 1905. Movie star and singer, Carmen Miranda, is credited with making the Samba popular in the U.S. in the early 1940’s. Today’s Samba music is influenced by Jazz and Latin rhythms. It is written in 2/4 or 4/4 time. The music is festive and fast paced with a sound associated with Rio’s Carnival. The basic count is “Slow a Slow” or “1 & 2”. Walking Samba steps and side steps are the basic components of this dance. The major characteristic of the Samba is the vertical bounce action. Steps are taken using the ball of the foot.

The Lindy (Swing) picked up where Charleston left off with “swing-outs,” “breakaways” and “shine-steps”. With the birth of “Swing” music in the mid 1930’s, the Lindy climbed the social ladder. In August of 1935, at the Palomar Ballroom, bandleader Benny Goodman played a Fletcher Henderson arrangement of “Stompin’ at the Savoy”. The rest, as they say, is history. The dance craze swept the nation, and depending on where you lived, it was the Jitterbug, the Lindy Hop or the Swing. Since those days, each successive generation has discovered the fun of Swing. This most uniquely American dance is enjoyed all over the world. Swing, Jitterbug, Jive, Shag, Lindy Hop, etc. are normally written in 2/4 or 4/4 time with the musical accents occurring on the second or second and fourth beats of a measure. Swing includes two general rhythms: Swing Rhythm – 1, 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6 or it’s equivalent; Lindy Rhythm – 1, 2, 3 & 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 or it’s equivalent. Swing may be danced comfortably over a wide range of tempos. A side step or a triple step (shuffle) followed by a rock step done to lively music is the fundamental pattern for this dance. Swing songs and artists include: “In The Mood” – Glenn Miller “Rock Around the Clock” – Bill Haley and the Comets “Start Me Up” – The Rolling Stones “Jump, Jive, An’ Wail” – Louis Prima or the Brian Setzer Orchestra

The Rumba started at the beginning of the Cuban and Latin American dance crazes. Danced to music inspired by African rhythms and Spanish melodies, the Americanized Rumba was the basis for the Mambo and Cha Cha. The U.S. Rumba dance rhythms have found their way into Country Western, Blues, Rock & Roll and other popular forms of music. Rumba music is usually written in 4/4 time and may be played over a wide variety of tempos. Often in rumba music, there may be an underlying pulsation of & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4. The basic Rumba dance steps are counted Slow, Quick, Quick (SQQ) The distinctive hip movement of Rumba, called the Cuban Motion, is one of the most important elements of this dance. Introduced in the Rumba, it is an important styling element in a number of popular Latin American Dances.

Quickstep is the English version of the Fast Fox Trot, which has quick hopping steps set in with smoother gliding figures. It is very popular in Europe as a competition dance, ranking among the “Big Five.” Although the music for Quickstep sounds like a fast Foxtrot, it is actually considered to be a marriage between the Waltz and the Charleston. The dance features both the light, airy foot movements of the Charleston and the “floating through space” of the Waltz. Quickstep is an International style competitive dance.

Merengue dance steps are easy and deliciously fun! Walking steps and side steps (chasse) are the basic components of Merengue. This dance is introduced as a marching dance, but can be developed into a rhythmical dance. With “Cuban Motion” and animated body movement, the Merengue gives a festive party appeal.

Hip hop dance refers to social or choreographed dance styles primarily danced to hip hop music or that have evolved as part of hip hop culture. This includes a wide range of styles notably breaking, locking and popping which were developed in the 1970s by Black and Latino Americans.

Foxtrot music is written in 2/4 or 4/4 time. The first and third beats are accented in 4/4 time. The range of Foxtrot tempos makes it possible to consider Foxtrot as though it were three dances: Slow Foxtrot, Medium Foxtrot and Fast Foxtrot (also called Society Tempo). Foxtrot has two major teaching rhythms: Magic Rhythm – Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick (SSQQ) and Box Rhythm – Slow, Quick, Quick (SQQ). The basic components of Foxtrot are walking steps and side steps. Crowded dance floors or night club conditions require that all three tempos be expressed with short steps. In larger ballrooms the slow Foxtrot is characterized by longer smooth, gliding steps, demanding ease of movement and control in order to give this dance an unhurried appearance.

One of the most popular Latin dances in the U.S., the Cha Cha began as a variation of the Mambo called, Triple Mambo. It was so easy and so much fun, it became the rage of the early 1950’s. Its infectious one-two, one-two-three, rhythm demands that sitters become dancers. Everybody can learn the Cha Cha. Cha Cha music is written in 4/4 time and may be played over a wide range of tempos. Often in Cha Cha music, a rhythmical link can be heard between each measure resulting in an overall rhythm of 1, 2, 3, 4 and repeated over and over. Triple steps (Chasse) and rock steps are the basic components of the Cha Cha. Since the Cha Cha is derived from the Rumba and Mambo, Cuban Motion is an important aspect of this dance.

Oriental dance is uniquely designed for the female body, with an emphasis on abdominal muscles, hip movements and chest movements. It is firm and earthy, traditionally with bare feet connected to the ground. It is a dance characterized by smooth, flowing, complex and sensual movements of the torso, alternated with shaking and shimmy type moves.

This dance can be a sassy salsa or combination of Latin dances like merengue, rumba, and cha cha, or an up-beat swing or even a group tango in historical costuming with props. Many young ladies choose to have this dance highly choreographed while others want the dance to feel improvised and want to just “learn the moves” so they can get out and dance! Again, the music will dictate the type of dancing and don’t forget the more rehearsal, the better the performance!

In this dance the young lady and her father dance a waltz choreographed to their special song. Songs such as the ones listed below are quite popular right now: Most Father/Daughter They can incorporate sweet entrances with cuddles, twirls and send-outs, 3-7 dance steps; both stationary and traveling on the floor, and a dip or twirl to lean with bow and curtsey for the end.

This is the dance that most young ladies having a Quinceanera are the most concerned about.
