Modern Sequence Dancing

Sequence dancing is a combination of Ballroom, Latin-American dances such as the Waltz, Quickstep, Tango, Foxtrot, Cha Cha Cha, Rumba etc. arranged in a repeatable group or sequence.

When dancing sequence, all couples dance around the ballroom anticlockwise, dancing the same steps as each other at the same time, almost as if in formation. This type of dancing also includes Old Time dances such as Old Time Waltz, Two-Step, Blues, Saunter, Swing etc.   The sequence is a fairly short routine of approximately 10 technical figures or 40 steps arranged within 16 bars of dance music. 

New dances have to have won a major inventive dance competition.  Each dance has an exclusive name. Some, for example, Sindy Swing, Waltz Catherine, Square Tango, Sally Ann Cha Cha Cha, Mayfair Quickstep, have been around for many years, but new dances are coming out all the time.
