What is DanceSport?DanceSport is the reference to competitive ballroom dancing. However, because many people still associate ballroom with dances such as the waltz and tango, a more creative name was developed to give a more appealing image that encompasses all 19 of the ballroom dances. DanceSport recently made its Olympic debut in the summer games. What is Ballroom dance?Ballroom dance is broken up into two styles; American and International. Within the American style, there are the “Rhythm” dances and “Smooth” dances. Within the International style there are the “Latin” dances and the “Standard” dances. Rhythm and Latin styles are similar, as are Smooth and Standard. Ballroom dancing entails both the fancy and elegant dances as well as the fast Latin dances. |
