An Introduction to Ballroom Dance will introduce several patterns, techniques, and partnering skills in four dances: Rumba, Cha Cha, Waltz, and Foxtrot. This course is designed to help you feel more confident on the dance floor and begin to give you a solid foundation you can continue to build on. Seatree is a certified Ballroom dance instructor with over 25 years of dance experience, including many years of teaching, performing, and competing in American Smooth and American Rhythm ballroom styles.

Foxtrot- Foxtrot can begin as a basic dance from which you can acquire a strong foundation of movement. Learning to combine steps easily and smoothly teaches variety and maneuverability. Being able to dance to slow, medium, and fast tempos will add confidence and great social adaptability to your dancing. The Foxtrot provides a good foundation for all dances and is sometimes called the "get-acquainted" or "first impression" dance. As this dance develops it ultimately becomes an extremely skilled dance that can be challenging at the highest level of Smooth style dancing.

Rumba- Learning the Rumba is a prerequisite for good Rhythm dancing. The Rumba is used by good dancers everywhere and provides interesting variety suited to a limited space. Neat, attractive, precise footwork gives you confidence in your dancing. The Rumba will help develop Latin body motion (Aka Cuban Motion) and sharpen your sense of rhythm, timing, and muscular control.

Waltz- The basic Waltz patterns are the foundation for most ballroom dances. The elegant sweeping movement of the Waltz develops strong balance and control, and the ability to move with ease. Correct posture, rise and fall, and smooth movements should be stressed to achieve good styling. Waltz remains to this day as the standard "honor dance" at various formal occasions, weddings, anniversaries and graduations.

Cha Cha- The Cha Cha adds fun to your dancing through its syncopated steps and many open movements. When you can dance many interesting combinations with ease, you will be able to feel the pulsating Latin rhythms which make this dance so fascinating. The Cha Cha is a dance you will be able to use often, and its energetic rhythm encourages you to cut loose and let your personality show.
