Ballroom Vs. Round Dancing

Is there much of a difference in round dancing and ballroom dancing? I do Round Dancing and am looking to get into Ballroom dancing, and i was wondering if there were any places in Washington that had a good ballroom instructor.

I've known several people who crossed over from round dancing to ballroom and did very well. Ballroom isn't called, so there's a lot more reliance on leading and following. Apparently there are a lot of common patterns, but ballroom tends to put more emphasis on technique (depending on your focus and where you take lessons). Have fun!

Sorry, I'm in California. I think there's a directory on this site, and on ndca.org. You can also try your yellow pages. Good luck!

We did round dancing years ago and have recently started ballroom. Learning to lead and follow is the biggest change but it makes the dancing so much more of a conversation between the partners. I think our old round dance teachers would be thrilled to see how we dance now. Good luck on the teaching!
