The Ballroom dances include Waltz (also called English Waltz), Tango (not Argentine Tango), Foxtrot (also called SlowFox), Quickstep and Viennese Waltz. However, in most cases, if you are going to an event that will have Ballroom dancing they will likely also dance some of the Latin dances, such as Cha-Cha, Rumba and Swing.

Ballroom dancing is danced in a smooth flowing motion and, in most cases, a slight rise and fall or up and down motion. The Tango is the only dance without the smooth  flowing or swooping movements.
