I can do all the competitive dances with proficiency that varies betwen "I know two steps" to "I know most of the bronze syllabus," so that would be:
International Standard (Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz, Quickstep) American Smooth (Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Viennese Waltz) American Rhythm (Cha-cha, Rumba, Mambo, ("East Coast") Swing; I have yet to learn Bolero) International Latin (Cha-Cha, Rumba, Jive, Samba, Paso Doble)
Plus Hustle, Salsa, and a tiny bit of West Coast Swing. At the Notre Dame competition last year, I told a guy I would fake something called "Nightclub Two Step" with him, and he taught me about three steps five minutes before the music came on. Somehow, we came in seventh of twenty-ish. I was shocked.
I think my favorites are Waltz, American Foxtrot, Am. Swing, and International Rumba.
Not that I'm really any good at any of these, mind you. ;)
