All about Round Dancing

Round dancing is a social form of ballroom dancing cued by the leader. It can include Waltz, Two Step, ChaCha, Rumba and other dance styles. Our club focuses on the Waltz and Two-Step. These dances are done as a couple so you do need a regular partner. There are several levels of dance— from phase one through phase 6. Round dance is more structured than other dancing. The leader designs the choreography then cues each movement. Steps are repeated, usually twice during the dance. All the steps flow together for a graceful dance. It's fun and easy to learn. Think of it as ballroom-made-easy!
What is Round Dancing?

All about Round Dancing

  • Choreographed (or Cued) Ballroom Dance is pre-choreographed and a "cuer" announces the steps as the dance proceeds. Freed from memorized sequences and the complexities of leading and following, the dancers can focus on the steps and the rhythm ("the beat and the feet"), making this a great way to learn how to dance. Cueing is the ultimate dance hack!
  • It's not just for beginners. Sure, these are all standard ballroom steps, so you can use them freestyle, but once you've had a taste of professional choreography, you'll never want to go back to doing the same old boring figures, over and over, ever again.
  • The dance figures in Choreographed Ballroom are grouped into "phases", and once you /earn a particular phase, you'll have access to thousands of pre-choreographed dances written for that phase.
  • These phases go on and on, through many levels, right to the top of the Ballroom dancing pyramid. You can stay with us, and dance to cues. enjoy professional choreography, and be confident you'll have plenty of options if you ever want to dance freestyle.
  • For couples, with less need to master the intricacies of leading and following, there's no pressure to swap partners! You can dance with your honey - all night long!
  • Choreographed Ballroom has a relaxed, fun atmosphere. There are no performances, no competitions, and no trophy cases. Just people dancing for fun. It's light-hearted. It's relaxed, it's playful. The way dancing should be.
