Fox Trot
A classic ballroom dance, Fox Trot sweeps across the floor as the women create beautiful lines and the men lead with smooth grace and power. Watch this sample video of Fox Trot dance patterns you can learn in ballroom dance classes at Arthur Murray Ballroom Dance Centers.
Waltz
One of the first dances where men and women actually touched each other, Waltz remains a romantic exchange of twirls and elegance as men and women glide to slower tempo music commonly heard at Weddings and Galas around New York City. In the video below you will see two ballroom dance teachers from the Arthur Murray Dance Center in Merrick, NY dance the Waltz and American Tango.
Known for its dramatic and beautiful movements the Tango is danced throughout the world in various styles.
Viennese Waltz
Though similar to the Waltz, the Viennese Waltz has a style and grace all of its own which will whirl you around the dance floor.
Quickstep
A quick and energetic dance that will move you around the floor.
Argentine Tango
A powerfully intimate dance that draws partners close together. This dance is often characterized by sharp kicks and flicks.
