Ballroom Dance Class Step Combinations

This is the list of steps combinations that I have learned in the ballroom dance classes I have taken so far. Steps that were taught are listed separately. The combinations listed here do not necessarily include all the steps taught and naturally there are tons of other combinations that are possible. These are the ones that I remember being taught in class. If I took more than one class at the same time, you'll have to scroll down the list to see it; I'm setting up the quick links to go to the first one for the listed time period. Some classes emphasized technique more than steps and/or combinations and so the notes here may seem sparse. If you want more information, feel free to contact me and I'll try to help.

NOTE: You'll probably need to use your knowledge of the moves in these combinations to figure out what the repeats (x2, x3, x4, etc.) refer to. In some cases it can be the whole syllabus move repeated a few times (e.g., Left Shoulder Shove x2), but sometimes it will be the number of measures the move is done (e.g., Hand to Hand x3). Sorry if this causes any confusion, but I sort of chose the number of repeats based on what seemed intuitively correct or more accurate. You can always adapt them to suit your own purposes if necessary anyway.
