Answer:
Waltz
This is the most commonly thought-of dance when someone mentions ballroom dancing. It is 28 bars per minute, done in 3/4 time, and it can be fairly romantic.
Tango
Ballroom tango is different when compared with Argentine tango. It has a 2/4 time signature, and it is 32 bars per minute. While ballroom tango can certainly be romantic, sensual might be a better word to describe this popular dance.
Foxtrot
This is an all-American dance set to jazz music and can be fast or slow depending on the band.
Quickstep
This dance is inspired by the foxtrot, but it takes on a much quicker tempo, hence the name.
Viennese Waltz
As soon as the 3/4 time music starts, the ballroom studio will become ablaze with the quick and passionate flow of this ‘old school’ waltz.
International Latin Samba
A bouncy dance that is partnered for competitions, but as the national dance of Brazil, it is solo.
Cha-Cha
This flirtatious dance can be thought of as a slower mamba. Much hip movement will be involved.
Rumba
Many people consider the rumba to be the most passionate and romantic dance on this list. It is incredibly complex and involves many different hip movements.
Jive
A spicy swing dance set to big band music in which the man leads and the women encourage more men to ask them to dance.
Paso Doble
The man dances as if he was a bull, and the woman as if she was bullfighter.
