Modern Ballroom
This dance style includes several techniques such as the Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep and Ballroom Tango.
These are all social dances which were seen throughout Western Society from around the beginning of the twentieth century.
These dance techniques vary in style but are all partner dances; today they are most commonly seen at competitions, at social gatherings or on stage.
