Over the years, American Style has expanded to include dances such as <a title=\"Mambo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/burr-ridge\/waltz\/\">Mambo<\/a>, <a title=\"Salsa\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/burr-ridge\/salsa\/\">Salsa<\/a> and <a title=\"West Coast Swing\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/burr-ridge\/west-coast-swing\/\">West Coast Swing<\/a>, and has always been driven by the constant development of music around the world.

In the world of ballroom dance competition, there are also differences between the dresses or gowns worn for American versus International Styles. Because dance partners stay in closed position when dancing International, these dresses often have floats coming from the tops which would not be conducive for American Style, which features both open &amp; closed positions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-184cc02e elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-laptop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"184cc02e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Join Us Today<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20809c26 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-laptop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"20809c26\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEmbark on a transformative ballroom dance journey with us.

we offer instruction in both International and American Ballroom Styles, and then some! And as a Fred Astaire dance student, you choose which dance style you\u2019d like to learn first based on what\u2019s most appealing to you, and your individual dance goals. For example, individuals interested in high-energy lessons for improved physical health would likely choose a different style than couples looking for an elegant First Dance for their wedding. No matter your age, ability level or whether you\u2019re planning to take lessons with a dance partner or on your own \u2013 you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p><p>To learn more about each type of dance and view a demonstration video, simply click on the links to the right. Then give us a call at Fred Astaire Dance Studios, and be sure to ask about our money-saving <a title=\"Introductory Offer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/burr-ridge\/introductory-offer\/\">introductory offer<\/a> for new students.
