“Detroit-style ballroom dancing, often simply referred to as Detroit ballroom or urban ballroom, is a unique and energetic form of partner dance that originated in the African American communities of Detroit, Michigan. This style of dance combines elements of traditional ballroom dance, such as smooth footwork and close partner connection, with influences from various urban dance styles, including hip-hop, funk, and jazz. Detroit ballroom dancing is a dynamic and expressive form of social dance that continues to evolve and thrive within the African American community and beyond. Its combination of smooth partner connection, intricate footwork, and infectious rhythms make it a captivating and exhilarating dance form to watch and participate in.”- danceonthegollc
