What is Round Dancing?
  The Intermediate & above levels (Phase IV-VI) of Round Dancing are essentially Ballroom Dancing to choreographed routines. The figures or patterns, in each routine, are called out just before the dancer is to execute them by a round dance cuer. The dancers progress around the floor in unison.

At the lower levels (Phase II-III), Round Dancing is similar, though not the same, to Country Western mainly concentrating on two rhythms, Two Step & Waltz.

Round Dances have been choreographed to most types of Ballroom dance music in both the International & American formats, including: waltz, Viennese waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, international tango, American tango, argentine tango, rumba, bolero, cha, jive, swing, jitterbug, west coast swing, disco, samba, paso doble, mambo, meringue, slow two step...
