Accessory dances are dances that are done only occasionally by more experienced dancers. Foundation dances are dances that are commonly done. For example, Salsa is extremely popular in Vancouver so it is a foundation dance. Salsa dancers will also frequently learn accessory dances that are only occasionally played at salsa clubs - like merengue, cha cha, tango or bachata.

Swing dancers in Vancouver will commonly start with Clubstyle/West Coast swing. Once they get comfy with that, they may work on dances that are only occasionally played at swing clubs like East Coast swing, Nightclub Two Step, Cha cha or Tango.

The bottom line is that you should first get comfy with Foundation Dances like salsa, swing or hip hop before considering the less commonly done and therefore less practical accessory dances.

The accessory dances we teach will change periodically. In order to be notified when we teach these accessory dances you must be on our confidential email list.
