About American Smooth

American Smooth is an elegant and expressive style of ballroom dancing that originated in the United States and has since gained international popularity. This dance takes inspiration from many styles including Standard/Ballroom, Latin-American, jazz, and contemporary, which allows for exceptional creativity and flexibility in choreography.

The primary distinction between American Smooth and traditional Standard Ballroom is its allowance for partners to separate from the traditional closed hold. This unique feature enables dancers to perform a wider range of movements, including turns, dips, and other dynamic sequences, making this dance both exciting and entertaining to perform.
