← The ten dances

The challenge

Can you keep the beat?

Every dance below plays its real competition rhythm. One bar of count-in, four bars on your own — tap on every beat and see how a scrutineer would mark your timing.

Cha-Cha2 · 3 · 4 & 130–32 MPM

One bar of count-in, then four bars on your own — tap the pad (or the space bar) on every beat. The metronome drops quiet once you're live: you carry the rhythm.

Sound on. Count: 2 · 3 · 4 & 1 — the accent falls on beat 1.

Struggling with a rhythm? Each dance's page explains its count and character — the ten dances — or find out which one suits you with the quiz.
