Modern Sequence Dancing is an English activity based on the standard ballroom and latin dances, including waltz, quickstep, foxtrot, rumba etc. However everyone dances the same 16 bar routine together. The dance steps are all standardised and often at quite high standards, but because the same routine is being done by everyone they become quite easy and enjoyable.
Sequence dances are enjoyable social events and there is no competition or exhibitionism.
They do however provide gentle exercise and mental stimulation as well as good company. Beginners are welcomed and helped with the dances. Newcomers need to try several clubs to find the one most suited to their level of dancing and with company that they can enjoy. Dancers at these clubs are happy with just a few different dances. Other clubs are for those dancers seeking a greater challenge who go dancing several times a week and new dances are regularly taught.
