At Dance Eclectic, we use the term Casual Ballroom to describe a welcoming mix of partner dances shared in a relaxed, expressive space. It’s a blend of Swing, Blues, Waltz, Argentine Tango—and also Latin styles like Rumba and Cha Cha, smooth dances like Nightclub Two Step and Foxtrot, and whatever else fits the mood of the music.

This isn’t traditional ballroom in the formal sense. It’s social, creative, and personal—about connection, not competition.It’s about joyful movement, playful exploration, and finding your own voice in the dance.

Here’s what Casual Ballroom means to us:
• A variety of partner styles, flowing freely on the same floor
• Dances that match the music—whether it’s vintage jazz, Latin rhythms, indie folk, or bluesy fusion
• Lead, follow, switch roles, or create your own conversation
• A space where tradition and creativity can dance together
• Come as you are—no dress code, no pressure

Casual Ballroom is for everyone—new dancers, seasoned pros, and curious souls alike. Whether you're floating through a slow Foxtrot, grooving in a Cha Cha, or improvising something completely your own, you're part of a community that celebrates movement as a shared joy.

At Dance Eclectic, we celebrate a vibrant mix of partner dance styles, all rooted in connection, creativity, and community. Among these, Argentine Tango is finding a unique and evolving place—one that speaks to many dancers through its quiet intensity and deep listening. It's a dance as much about presence as it is about movement, as much about feeling as it is about form.

When we say our events are Tango Friendly, we’re not setting strict boundaries or expectations. Instead, we’re inviting dancers to explore tango in a way that feels open, relaxed, and fully human. We're creating a space where tango can show up just as it is—sometimes traditional, sometimes experimental, and often somewhere in between.
