Welcome!
Round Dance is choreographed and cued ballroom dancing. Because it’s choreographed, dances are gorgeous. Because both dancers hear spoken cues that tell them what to do, responsibility is shared.
This website teaches Round Dance in a carefully-planned sequence, one small step at a time, beginning with Waltz.
