SOCIAL DANCE PARTIES

In social line dancing we do a thing called "splitting the floor."  One end/area of the room is designated for beginners to dance along to any song that is playing for the improver/intermediate dancers on the rest of the floor.   We have picked about twenty beginner (Level 1/2) dances that can mix and match with almost any song played for the more experienced dancers.  You'll see that these dances are the foundation of the Level 1 and 2 classes, so you are already learning them!  When you attend a dance party, the DJ, an instructor, or dance host can suggest one of them that might go well with the current song....but you're always welcome to choose your own and get the group dancing with you.  This skill works for you at weddings, bars, concerts, and other occassions where fun music makes you want to dance!

Browse through the dances below and keep a list of the ones you have learned and liked.  It will come in handy when you're near a dance floor!   The numbers after each dance are the Beats Per Minute the dances are comfortable for.  Put a BPM tap app (like this one) on your phone and easily match up the dances with the songs.
