American Smooth Waltz

American Smooth (called also Fred and Ginger style of Ballroom) is based on Ballroom technique, but the restriction of permanent body contact has been lifted, which allows the couples to perform various solo steps, lady spins and turns, dancing in shadows positions etc.

If you already have a good standard ballroom technique - you are more than half-way through to success in American Smooth.

American Smooth Waltz is danced exactly to the same music as International Standard Waltz, so you will not have problems finding a place or music to dance to.
