Standard Dance refers to a category of ballroom dance styles that are characterized by their smooth and elegant movements. This style includes dances such as Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, and Viennese Waltz. Standard Dance is typically performed in a closed position, where partners maintain a frame and move together in harmony across the dance floor. In competitions, Standard Dance is judged based on technique, posture, and the ability to maintain connection between partners. Dancers often wear formal attire, with men in suits or tails and women in long gowns, enhancing the sophisticated nature of these dances.
