Modern Sequence Videos

Waltzes

Waltzes are danced at 30-32bpm and have 3 beats to the bar.  The accent is on the first beat.  They are rotary and should have distinct rise and fall, lowering on the first beat of the bar and rising for beats 2 and 3.  Please check the CLASSICAL WALTZ section if you cannot find your selection here 

Tangos

Danced to 30-34bpm. The ballroom tango retains a closed hold throughout and has a compact, staccato feel. All forward steps are taken on the heel first, there is no rise and fall. Please check the CLASSICAL TANGO section if you cannot find your selection here.

Quicksteps

Are normally danced to a faster tempo 45-50bpm.  The signature steps are chasses and lock steps.  The rhythm is counted in SLOWS and QUICKS, lowering on the slows, rising on the quicks.

Viennese Waltzes

Viennese Waltzes… are one of the standard Ballroom rhythms, but is also one of the quickest (60bpm) and therefore does not really lend itself to Modern Sequence dancing!  There is no official category in the Inventive Competition, so we have created our own! We hope you Enjoy our Alles Walzer
