OVERVIEW

Sequence dancing consists of Classical Sequence (formerly known as Old Time), Modern (Ballroom) Sequence and Latin Sequence. It is probably the most popular form of social dance today, as Sequence Clubs are to be found in nearly every village and town. Two of the great attractions of this form of dance as a pastime are the friendly atmosphere which prevails and its appeal to all age groups.
