LATIN Dances
The five Latin dances are the Samba, Cha-Cha-Cha, Rumba, Paso Doble and Jive. With their heritage in Latin American (Samba, Cha-Cha-Cha, Rumba), Hispanic (Paso Doble) and American (Jive) cultures, they each have their distinguishing traits but share expressiveness, intensity and energy.
Standard Dances
The five Standard dances are the Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Slow Foxtrot and Quickstep. Somewhat more formal than their Latin counterparts - and not just in terms of the athletes' attire - they are generally danced in a close position to the partners.
Acrobatic Rock 'n' Roll
Rock 'n' Roll is one of the four styles in which the World Rock 'n' Roll Confederation holds official World Championships since 1984. It includes spectacular aerial moves.
Salsa
It is one of the most popular dance styles worldwide.
Line Dance
It is one of two basic genres under the guidance of the United Western and Country Dance Council.
Break Dance
It is one of seven styles belonging to the category "Street & Pop Dance" under the rules of the International Dance Organization.
New Vogue
It is the collective name for a style comprising 15 dances recognized by DanceSport Australia.
Wheelchair DanceSport
