International Style is categorized into two very distinct sub-styles: Standard (or \u201cBallroom\u201d), and Latin, and is typically used more in the competitive dance circuit.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fdb7884 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fdb7884\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Here in the United States, ballroom dance adapted into the American Style between 1910 \u2013 1930 mainly due to the influence of American jazz music, a more social approach to dancing and the iconic dance and choreography talents of Mr. Fred Astaire. Over the years, American Style has expanded to include dances such as Mambo, Salsa and West Coast Swing, and has always been driven by the constant development of music around the world. The American Style of ballroom dance is categorized into two distinct sub-styles: Rhythm and Smooth, and is used in both social and competitive ballroom dance arenas.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6bd990cd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6bd990cd\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-cdb6303\" data-id=\"cdb6303\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1926f479 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1926f479\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Differences Between International &amp; American Styles\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25087ddb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"25087ddb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>International Style is without a doubt the classic \u201cold school\u201d style of Ballroom.

American Smooth is similar to its counterpart from overseas, but does allow the dancers to separate (called \u201copen position\u201d) in their dance frame. In the beginning stages of training, International Style is more disciplined than American Style (which typically starts first as a social Hobby, then progresses to Sport).\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7f0f384b elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"7f0f384b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-570bc81d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"570bc81d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/glenn-heights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/256\/2023\/09\/fred-astaire-dance-studio11.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-8131\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/glenn-heights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/256\/2023\/09\/fred-astaire-dance-studio11.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/glenn-heights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/256\/2023\/09\/fred-astaire-dance-studio11-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b9a208e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4b9a208e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>American Style can also include \u201cExhibition\u201d solo work which allows the couple more freedom in their choreography. Both styles can be very technical with a high level of proficiency requirements, but there is more freedom in the American Style when it comes to closed figures, where the International Style is more strict with fewer figures offered. 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\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element

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 introductory offer for new students. Together, we\u2019ll get you started on your personal dance journey!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Types of Dance \/* widget: Accordion Menu *\/ #uc_ue_accordion_menu_elementor_d701d5d * { box-sizing:border-box; } #uc_ue_accordion_menu_elementor_d701d5d .uc-side-menu-wrapper { position:relative; } #uc_ue_accordion_menu_elementor_d701d5d .collapsed .uc-menu-item-pointer:after{ content: &#8220;&#8221;; background-image: url(https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/glenn-heights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/256\/ac_assets\/ue_accordion_menu\/\/fa_unicode.svg); font-family: &#8220;Font Awesome 5 Free&#8221;; content: &#8220;f107&#8221; !important;; font-weight: 900; line-height:1em; background-image:none; display: inline-block; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center; background-size:contain; vertical-align: middle; } #uc_ue_accordion_menu_elementor_d701d5d .expanded .uc-menu-item-pointer:after{ content:&#8221;&#8221;; background-image: url(https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/glenn-heights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/256\/ac_assets\/ue_accordion_menu\/\/fa_unicode.svg); font-family: &#8220;Font [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":382,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8521","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/glenn-heights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/glenn-heights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/glenn-heights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/glenn-heights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/382"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/glenn-heights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/glenn-heights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8521\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/glenn-heights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
