Foxtrot – International Foxtrot is a deceiving dance. It looks easy, but is one of the most difficult dances to do in the International Standard category.

Quickstep – Quickstep, is a quick dance, hence the name! A very lively dance comprised of hops, skips, and kicks. The dance began as a quick Foxtrot mixed with the Charleston, and musical “Jazz” influences.

Tango – Originated in the bordellos of Buenos Aires, Argentina (not to be confused with Argentine Tango). This dance consists of a lot of staccato action and stylized poses.

Viennese Waltz – The first waltzes was written in the early 19th century by Joseph Lanner and Johann Strauss. In the middle of the 20th century, the German, Paul Krebs choreographed the Viennese Waltz style to which we dance today. This dance is a fast Waltz that consists of turns one way and then another.

Waltz – The romantic slow waltz is an offspring of the Viennese Waltz in 3/4 time. Very similar to the American Standard Waltz, though, not as flashy.
