Sequence dancing is a form of dance in which a predetermined pattern of movement is followed.
Modern Sequence Dancing has a repeat of the steps at every sixteenth bar, typically going on for five or six sequences in all. When performing a Sequence Dance, the music must be in strict tempo. There are several tempo types for sequence dancing, such as the Quickstep, Waltz, Foxtrot, Blues, Saunter, Jive, Bossa, Nova, Rumba, Tango, Swing, Salsa and the Cha Cha.
Each Sequence Dance has an accepted speed of playing so that a typical program has a wide variety of activity. A dance sequence may be either 'old time' or 'modern' with the dividing line being somewhere in the early 20th century.
