I am interested in learning. I checked wikipedia and I'm very confused.

I just want to learn to dance at weddings, banquets, etc... I'm not competing or trying to make dancing a full time hobby. Whats the difference between American and the International standard?

If I'm just learning to dance casually, does it matter which style I learn? Also, there's waltzes, tango's, quickstep's, etc... Do you just learn a single style or do they teach you all of them?

Also, I'm close to Seoul, is there a good place where I can learn?

I took a class here in Korea when I was a student. It taught the basic steps of the waltz and the cha cha and probably another dance or two but I can't remember. I suppose dancing at a wedding would most likely require the waltz.

I think what exactly will be taught dependso on the school or program you choose. I don't know what exactly is the difference between American and International styles...I'd imagine it's like the difference between American and Korean Tae kwon do: same basic principal with some specific difference that warrant the distinction.

I hope someone else pipes in on this thread. I'm curious to hear more about the subject. Damn you "So You Think You Can Dance!"

I'm just tired of being one of the guys who stands in a circle outside the dance floor while all the girls are in the middle dancing.

I go to clubs and I dance there, but thats not real dancing. Its drunk club dancing.

There are definitely dance school floating around. Good luck!
