The Smooth dances share a continuity and fluidity of movement. The appearance is one of continuous motion, which may speed up and slow down, but never really stops. There are very few, if any, sudden pauses or changes of speed or direction in the smooth dances. Because of this, the Smooth dances typically have a refined, elegant, and graceful look and feel to them. Smooth dances cover the spectrum from slow to fast, from gentle to energetic. The most well known of the Smooth dances are the Waltz, the Foxtrot, and the Tango. Rhythm -- Swing and Other Dances The Rhythm dances are noticeably different from the Smooths in that their movements are designed to emphasize the beat in the music. Rhythm dances are typically danced to faster, more energetic music, but like the Smooth dances you can find examples of slow Rhythm dance, fast Rhythm dance, and everything in between. The primary examples of Rhythm dances are East- and West-Coast Swing and the Lindy Hop. Less well known Rhythm dances include the Hustle and the Nightclub 2-Step. The Latin dances are similar to the Rhythm dances in that there is a lot of focus placed on the beat of the music. In fact, the similarities are substantial enough that some people refer to the Latin dances as part of the Rhythm category. However, there are some obvious stylistic differences between Latin dances and Rhythm dances. Movements in Latin dance tend to be much sharper and more dramatic than those in the Rhythm category. And of course, aside from stylistic differences, the Latin dances all share a history of having originated in the Latin countries of the world. Some typical examples of Latin dances are the Cha-Cha, Rumba, Salsa, Mambo, and Merengue. Looking for dance music, here are some examples.
