DANCE TYPES
Choose a dance category. All
dance is a derivation - building and mixing on previous dance history,
combining cultures and evolving through time. Choose the style you prefer but
don't discard others - when you get the bug, like history, one thing leads to
another. Remember, you're looking for a partner - if you want dance history try

fast and full of rhythm. One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock rock - from
Benny Goodman to Elvis Presley. Popularised by American soldiers in the second
World War, rock music and the dancing which goes with it is at the heart of
most modern music as we know it today.

Country Dancing - Reels and Circles .
Easy, fun and best done with
partners and friends. A caller usually dictates the pace and describes the
steps. It couldn't be easier. You listen and away you go. You really don't need
to be an expert just 'take your partner by the hand, swirl her round and
'do-si-do'!
| Western
Country Dancing - Cowboy style, Line Dancing .
The American version of English
country dancing.You don't need a partner but its just more fun with others.
When the cowboys got off their horses the last thing they wanted to do was
fancy dance routines. They wanted liqueur, fun and friendship. Part of the fun
is dressing up!

of John Travolta in those classic and retro movies produced in the late
