Sequence Dancing Explained
In ordinary ballroom dancing the man leads his partner and chooses what steps they will perform - all couples on the floor are doing their own thing. In sequence dancing all couples do the same steps at the same time - something like formation dancing.
The sequence for a dance like the Mayfair Quickstep or Balmoral Blues is usually 16 bars in length. This is repeated several times during the course of the dance - if you watch carefully you can join in yourself - many people learn sequence dancing this way. You may find yourself doing sequence dances based on the slow foxtrot, cha-cha-cha, mambo, or gavotte if these come up in a session! All couples dance together in this way making the learning process easier - there is also a great feeling of togetherness. Everyone is working towards a common goal - to perform the sequence as well as possible and you can compare notes with others afterwards.
