The International Style of ballroom dancing requires a thorough study of specific standardized techniques and movements. These dance techniques and movements are now studied and continually improved upon by dance competitors of every major country in the world.

The movement and style of the modern ballroom dances were established over 50 years ago; whereas, the Latin-American dances were more recently standardized to be included in major World and International dance championships.

The ballroom dances of the International Style provide one of the most exciting courses of study for the contemporary dancer interested in competitive dancing. Awards include the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Gold Star Trophies in both the Modern Ballroom and Latin-American sections.
