The best-known forms of Swing include the Charleston, Black Bottom, and Shag. In the early 1940s, these forms consolidated into what was called the Lindy and eventually became the East Coast Swing we know today.

Although many associate the Hustle with the Disco music of the 70’s, the dance continues to be one of the most popular nightclub dances today. The Hustle has some features in common with Mambo, Salsa, and Swing dance. The music that the Hustle is typically dances to features a strong bass beat that makes for exciting and upbeat movement with plenty of turns, spins, and wraps. In fact, its basic steps are similar to the Discofox, which is a dance that emerged in Europe around the same time as the Hustle. The modern partnered version of the Hustle is sometimes called the New York Hustle since dancers in New York City paved the way for the rest of the Hustle community; however, the dance’s original name is the Latin Hustle. As the Hustle continued to evolve, it borrowed moves from other dance styles such as smooth ballroom, wing, and Latin rhythms. Modern Hustle is a dance, smooth dance that has the lady spinning almost constantly while her partner draws her in close and then spins her away.

Of all the Ballroom dances, the Foxtrot best embodies movement and polish. The foxtrot is a smooth, progressive dance characterized by long, continuous flowing movements across the dance floor. The dance is similar in its look to waltz, although the rhythm is in a 4/4-time signature instead of ¾. From the very first steps, a dancer will feel themselves transform as they master the control of the easy Foxtrot. The Foxtrot has remained relevant for over 100 years because of its ease of use and practical application to any dance environment. The Foxtrot Magic Step has the same shape as the Knight in chess (two forward, one side) and is simple to pick up on. The foxtrot may not be as flashy as some other dances, but it is reliable and a great foundation for learning other types of social dances. The Foxtrot is a dance you can always count on when the music gets jazzy, at a slightly more formal event, or if you want to focus on being a little more “social” while you dance. In fact, learning how to talk and dance is one of the most important skills in social dancing, and the Foxtrot is the dance that teaches this skill the quickest.

To learn the Cha Cha is to love the Cha Cha. Sharp Staccato actions, rhythm changes, and exciting patterns are just some of the challenging aspects of this dance. The Cha Cha is one of most popular Latin dances and encourages you to cut loose and let your personality show. The Cha Cha is the first impression dance for competitive Latin and Rhythm dancers, and it has ties to every American Rhythm dance. In fact, many of the exciting moves you see at advanced levels of Cha Cha are introduced at a very basic level. While many believe the Cha Cha originated in a South or Central American country, it got its start in the USA as an adaptation of the Mambo. The Cha Cha was once referred to as the “Triple Mambo”. Mambo bands began to play slower music and the dancers needed to adjust to the new tempo. As a result, dancers added a triple step in between the forward and back rocking steps of the Mambo and the Cha Cha was born.

Romantic melodies epitomize the grace and poise of the Waltz. This dance is a highly popular ballroom dance originating from the Ländler German folk dance in the 18th century. The Waltz is characterized by a step, slide, and step in 3/4 time and is one of the best dances to learn for improving in other dances as well. Its turning, embracing couples, at first shocked polite society but now has become a staple of romance and sophistication. The Waltz will help dancers develop mastery of sway, rise and fall, balance and control-concepts essential to experiencing the true joy of any ballroom dance. Any dancer with a Waltz in their program will see an immediate benefit in the other dances they enjoy. The Walts is a simple, yet elegant dance that can be used in formal and social settings alike – making it a great first choice for new dancers to learn.

We came to the studio as they had just opened and with 6 week to go prior to our destination wedding. We met with Sevrin and I was comforted that she had a pretty solid plan to get us ready. After our first class I felt better, I felt more confident as every class went on and the end result was GREAT!!! I can't believe how much we learned in such short time frame, our first and second dance turned out beautiful. Sevrin goes above and beyond to develop a routine that we both felt comfortable with....Thank you so much!!!!
