Sequence Dance History

Make time for dancing

What is Sequence Dancing...  
Modern Sequence Dancing is an English activity based on  standard ballroom and latin dances, including
waltz, quickstep, foxtrot, rumba, cha cha, salsa, jive etc. However everyone dances the same 16 bar routine
together. .. The dance steps are all standardised and are often to a high standard... but because the same
routine is being danced by everyone they become quite easy and enjoyable.
 

There are also some classical ( or old time ) dances but these are not very popular nowadays. Sequence dancing
is sometimes introduced as an easy or social type of dance at social ballroom dances / parties etc. However this
is not typical of the dancing done at the majority of sequence dance clubs and on sequence dance holidays etc...

Dedicated dancers would soon become bored with the same few  easy dances every week and most clubs provide
a wide range of new dances and variations. However some clubs do cater more for those who go dancing only
occasionally or perhaps once a week, and who are happy with a limited repertoire of social popular dances.

Dancers at these clubs are happy with just a few different dances and plenty of social chatter !...

We always try and please everybody at Wilsden  see example of dances   ( over 3000 dances exist... with more added every month  ! )

Most sequence dances are usually run as social clubs rather than as a business and charges are quite low  ( usually around £2 / £3 ).
They particularly attract retired people and provide a friendly and social atmosphere... However you do not need to be old !
If you are interested in dancing come along and have a look...  Ladies often dance together when there are insufficient gentlemen...
Unfortunately there is no central co-ordinating body and as a result there is little publicity and no comprehensive list of clubs.
 

To get started, one needs to approach a local club like Wilsden... Although called a ‘club’ it does not mean you have to be a member
If  you like what you see you could take some lessons in basic ballroom and latin dancing at a local dance school or evening class.

The webmaster can personally recommend the Windsor Ballroom, Bradford... Beginners class’s for ‘sequence dancing’ are on
Monday & Thursday evenings...        Contact... Andrew  / Carol Caruthers on 01535 275065...          Windsor Ballroom Bradford
