Round Dancing is a form of social ballroom dancing in which the steps are choreographed precisely to the music, and those steps are announced by a "cuer," as we dance. The presence of the cuer makes a round dance look different than the usual ballroom dance — all the couples are dancing in unison, the choreography can be relatively complex and interesting (since the man doesn't have to think it up as he goes) — but otherwise round dancers are ballroom dancing. We hold our partners in the normal way. We take the same kinds of steps and dance the same kinds of figures. The rhythms are the familiar rhythms — waltz, foxtrot, cha-cha, rumba, and many others.

Round Dancing is a great couple activity. Explore below and learn more.
