Ballroom dancing is a partner-style dance which has risen in popularity across the world, especially in European countries. In International Ballroom there are 2 main styles of dancing called Standard and Latin, both with 5 types of dances.

Standard dances are the most iconic style of ballroom dancing, which include the Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, and Quickstep.

Latin dances, as their name suggests, take most of their inspiration from dances found in Latin countries. These include Cha-cha-cha, Rumba, Samba, Paso Doble, and Jive
