Choreographed Ballroom Dancing
​

What is Choreographed Ballroom Dancing?
Choreographed Ballroom Dancing is unique because there is a cuer who calls out the dance figures and the
entire dance floor is dancing the same steps at the same time. This movement is sometimes referred to as
round dancing. It is a social, non-competitive activity, for fun rather than competition. Dance for the fun of it!
We enjoy all the ballroom rhythms such as waltz, foxtrot, two-step, tango, rumba, jive, cha cha and west
coast swing just to name a few. There are many interesting and challenging routines written to fit all types of
great (new and old) music. Since the routines are "cued" dancers can perform difficult patterns without
having to memorize hundreds of songs.
How does a dance couple get started? 
Join one of the many clubs dedicated to Choreographed Ballroom
Dancing! The aspiring dance couple joins a club which teaches beginners. Beginner clubs offer instruction,
workshop, review of a previous dance, and lots of dancing fun in a smoke and alcohol free environment. A
club dance varies from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours long. Some clubs dance in the afternoon and others in the
evening. The dance season usually runs from September through to the end of May with a graduation dance
at the end of the season.
How difficult is it and how complicated? 
New dancer couples can include those who have never danced
before in their lives, dancers who have done other dancing and people of all ages. There are levels from
beginner through easy, intermediate, to advanced. The dance music used is mostly popular instrumentals and
vocals from the easy listening category. They include show tunes, swing, rock, and western. The easy level
emphasizes the 2-step and waltz. As one makes the transition to the intermediate level, new rhythms are
added, including the foxtrot, quickstep, tango, rumba, cha cha and jive are introduced. Advanced levels add
more rhythms and sophistication.
How do I join a club?
​
Many clubs exist throughout Alberta.
On our web site, communitydance.org, you will see the clubs
listed in Edmonton and surrounding communities. You are
welcome to dance at multiple clubs, to help you learn.
Please call the club contact to learn more about starting to
dance. They can answer your questions, and welcome you to
our activity. No special clothing is required. Please bring
clean non marking shoes. We would love to see you out on the dance floor!
