Quickstep
When the current ballroom dances were codified it was a time of swing. So there had to be something reflected this element of the culture at the time - that something was Quickstep.
The best way to describe quickstep is to imagine if ballroom and swing dance had a baby. The energy music has the swing feel. But the posture and figures are very ballroom. Keep you posture upright, you shoulders down and back. And then start dancing to music with a hard triple beat and sounds like a precursor to rock and roll. That's quickstep.
Often one of the more challenging dances due to the combination of graceful posture and vigorous timing. But also one of the most fun and satisfying due to its unique combination of attributes. You can dance quickstep to much popular music due to connection with swing music via rock and roll.
Also, because of its speed, it offers a lot of excitement and it is excellent for getting active.
