American Rhythm is the most playful style. This category utilizes the “pressed walk” technique, meaning weight is placed on the ball of the foot with a bent knee, the knee straightening only as the heel comes in contact with the ground. Rhythm is a fun style that, when combined with Latin, can give dancers of all levels a large vocabulary of steps.
