Different countries have different kinds of dance styles too, and there are also different traditional types of dancing which are part of a particular culture. Have you ever seen any traditional types of dancing? See if you can find out about traditional Russian dances: they look pretty amazing! Or how about traditional Irish dancing, which looks like it takes a lot of energy!

If you look at the different dance styles, on a simple level there are actually two main types of dance: dancing that is performed in front of an audience, or dancing that you can take part in yourself. See if you can sort out the dance styles into these two types! Some of them may be both types (you can watch ballroom dancing in competitions, but you can also take part in ballroom dancing if you are at an event where there is the right kind of ballroom music).
