NIGHTCLUB DANCE

(Redirected from Club dance)
In a wider sense, the term 'Nightclub dance', or 'Club dance', is used in the meaning of Disco dance (see Disco music).
In a narrower sense, especially in the context of dance competitions, the term 'Nightclub dances' is used to denote a group of social partner dances less formalized than Ballroom dances, but more formalized than Street dances. (Some of them are considered "street dances" as well.) As their name suggests, they are suitable for dancing in informal atmosphere of night clubs, bars, etc.
They are formalized in two respects: they are taught in dance studios, their steps /patterns are relatively well established and documented, and there are competitions in these dances.
