The Sequence Dances

There are several thousand sequence type dances which have been published and I have tried to compile a list of as many as possible. This list includes some 3,500 of the normal UK sequence dances as well as many party type dances and also sequence dances from the Southern Hemisphere. We have not included normal Line Dances but would refer you to line dancing sites such as Kickit for more details.

The list which follows is arranged in alphabetic order by style of dance then alphabetic by name. Where possible we have included inventors and dates. It is divided into three groups for speed of loading (even so it may take a short while) . Note this list is up to 2007 and revised periodically. It does not necessarily show the very latest dances, for these see the competition dates page. The revision date is shown on the top of each file. If you would like to download the full file to save and process at leisure in your own spreadsheets etc, then it can be downloaded as a .csv -comma separated file if you click here ( only 140kb) .

Copyright - All the UK dance organisations and individual inventive dance promoters since about 1980 have claimed copyright for their particular dances. This means that almost all of the present dances are covered and strictly it is a breach of copyright to teach, demonstrate, video or to copy the scripts of most of these dances without the permission of the copyright holder. We regret we are therefore unable to supply copies of any scripts.
We regret this, but we do have the traditional dances which will give you the sequence steps. You can get these by clicking here. Emmerdale Waltz, Glen Roy Foxtrot, Georgella Blues, Mayfair Quickstep, Melody Foxtrot, Ragtime Swing, Rumba One, Rumba Royale, Sally Ann Cha Cha, Saunter Together, Sindy Swing, Sweetheart Waltz, Tango Serida, Waltz Catherine, Woodside Waltz.

We acknowledge the help of two friends who have allowed us to use their lists as the basis of this listing, and we apologise in advance for the inevitable errors and omissions. This list is copyright ©2008 but you may copy and reproduce it free of charge for any non-commercial purpose. The data can be loaded into many spreadsheets by copy and paste.
