List of dances
This is the main list of dances. It is a non-categorized, index list of specific dances. There may also be listed dances which could either be considered a specific dance or a family of related dances, depending on your perspective. For example ballet, ballroom dance and folk dance can be considered a single dance style or a family of related dances. The purpose of the page is to have as complete an index as possible.
;Specific dances are listed below in alphabetical order, and only should be listed one time. Variants of a specific dance should be listed as indented items, and not as separate items. For example Waltz has several variants. This makes the list easier to read, and avoids redundant links.
See following for categorized lists:
