Bolero

Another kind of Bolero is the American Style ballroom dance popular in the United States. It is a unique dance style combining the patterns of Rumba with the rise and fall technique and character of Waltz and Foxtrot.

The music is 4/4 time, and is danced to the slowest rhythms of the Rhythm ballroom dances (which include Bolero, Rumba, ChaChaCha, Mambo, and East Coast Swing). The basic rhythm of steps in patterns, like Rumba, is Slow-Quick-Quick.
