This American style of ballroom dancing can be separated into two distinct styles: Rhythm and Smooth, which are still enjoyed today by those who just wish to have some fun and those who wish to compete. The American style of ballroom dancing is constantly evolving based off of music from around the world. It includes a variety of dances such as Mambo, Salsa, and West Coast Swing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\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-7bd99e86 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7bd99e86\" 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\t<p>When the American style of ballroom dancing was still in its early stages, Mr. Fred Astaire was particularly notorious for his iconic choreography and dances. In addition to the American Style of ballroom dance, there is also the International Style of ballroom dance which encompasses the Standard\/ \u201cBallroom\u201d style and the Latin style. This style of dance was initially introduced in England and became popular throughout the world by the 19th century, not long after it took form in the 1800s.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-200bad4f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"200bad4f\" 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-24c97a99\" data-id=\"24c97a99\" 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-47d0d0a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"47d0d0a2\" 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\">The Differences Between International &amp; American Styles\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39f49a3a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"39f49a3a\" 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\t<p>If you were asked to conjure an image of classic ballroom dancing in your head, you are most likely thinking of the International Style. The first distinction between the International Style and the American Style is that the International Standard generally requires partners to remain the closed position at all times, where as the American Style gives dancers a bit more freedom and allows them to transition to the open position if they wish. The closed position simply means that dance partners stand in front of each other and are in body contact.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\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-10833043 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile\" data-id=\"10833043\" 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-7568e0d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7568e0d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\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\/wyckoff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/310\/2023\/07\/fred-astaire-dance-studio11.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7562\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/wyckoff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/310\/2023\/07\/fred-astaire-dance-studio11.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/wyckoff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/310\/2023\/07\/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<\/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-51405e97 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51405e97\" 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\t<p>The second distinction is that American Style typically starts out as a social hobby, and later progresses into a sport whereas the International Style is a bit more disciplined. Moreover, dancers can do \u201cExhibition\u201d solo work in the American style, which yields them even more freedom with the choreography. As a result of this freedom, dress attire worn is also different between the two styles. In the International Style, partners will usually be in the closed position and attire may include dresses that have floats coming from the tops; this would not be appropriate for the 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\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50
