Depending on your interest and your budget, you can dance several nights a week. For many dances, you can vary the speed from slow to fast, depending on your skill level. Each dance has its own level of complexity because it is built around slightly different body movements. Ballroom dancing consists of the broadest range of dance steps. The fox trot, waltz, rhumba, cha cha, mambo, tango, samba, Viennese waltz, quickstep, bolero and jive are all classic versions of ballroom dancing.
Swing is the hottest dance craze.
Within the swing family are East Coast and West Coast swing, the Lindy hop, shag, Charleston and Balboa. West Coast Swing is slightly different, adapting to slower and more compact movements. The Lindy hop combines dancing with kicks and hops and remains especially popular with the young adult dancers who still have enough energy to dance at such a high level of activity. Salsa dances are quick-tempo Latin steps requiring twists, turns, lots of energy and a creative flair. A good place to start is by enrolling in an introductory course, which offer a few lessons for a flat fee to get your feet moving.
