Boost your energy levels and unleash the Ranveer Singh in you pull some whacky expressions and learn the signature steps of songs. The basic Bollywood couple dance step involves teasing your partner like your fiancé sitting on your thigh and pulling your cheek while you go after her and do the Thumka or hip swivel. For men, Bhangra is the safest bet when you forget your original steps, so better keep a Punjabi dhol at standby at all time.

2. Latin Couple Dance Steps

Originally the modern escape from the traditional ballroom dance and waltz of the yesteryears, Latin dance introduced three new dance forms like Cha Cha, Salsa and Rumba dance. It hails from the different regions of the South and Central America including the Caribbean. Not only does the dance form involve great chemistry between a couple but also it demands precision and accuracy of steps.

If you both are dancing enthusiasts, flaunt your Latin dance talent and sweep away the guests with your effortless charm. The basic Latin dance form is Cha-Cha dance which is performed in a rhythm like 'one, two, three-and-four'. This basically implies two slow steps, followed by two quick steps and a slow step on the fourth beat. The most popular couple dance step involves the romantic falling of a girl into man’s arms as she puts her legs in a 90-degree angle and her head bent backwards.

3. Waltz Couple Dance Steps

The popular dance form started in the developed suburbs of Austria and Bavaria in the early 1800’s which was much popular amongst the lower strata of society, however, it was introduced to the United States where it was danced on a slower tempo. The dance form involves perpetual, flowing movements that cover the length and breadth of the dance floor, hence the gap between lady and man is a bit too wide to allow free movement on the stage.

Also, the utter grace and elegance exhibited in this dance form give us major couple goals. Some of the popular Waltz songs are Moon River featuring Audrey Hepburn, Come Away with Me by Norah Jones that does complete justice to the 90 beats per minute dancing ritual.

4. Retro Couple Dance Steps

As they say, old is gold and it certainly justifies the saying because retro is the next big thing recently. With weddings involving theme-based events and retro being the most popular theme, couples are highly inclined towards the classic Bollywood tracks. Some of the hits like Yeh Mera Dil Pyar ka Diwana from Don, I am a Disco Dancer from Disco Dancer, Chuma Chuma from Hum will bring a bounty of energy and zest on the stage. It’s always fun to imitate the retro couple dance steps and thoroughly enjoy while performing.

5. The Signature Swirl Couple Dance Step

Indian couples don’t shy away from doing the step even in their ethnic ensemble and get the shutterbugs to do what they do the best.
