Liste de dansesCette page recense une liste non exhaustive des danses, le classement se fait selon le pays, puis par ordre alphabétique.
Danse de balLes danses de bal sont des danses sociales pratiquées par des danseurs amateurs, dans des réunions organisées ou même improvisées, par opposition à la danse spectacle et par opposition à la danse individuelle en discothèque dont le mouvement de danse n'est pas collectif. Un bal peut être gratuit (bal en plein air, bal du 14 juillet, fête locale, bal de vacances...) ou payant, et peut être public ou sur invitation (bal de Vienne, bal des débutantes, etc.). La danse de bal a évolué avec les mœurs.
Group danceGroup dances are danced by groups of people simultaneously, as opposed to individuals dancing alone or individually, and as opposed to couples dancing together but independently of others dancing at the same time, if any. The dances are generally, but not always, coordinated or standardized in such a way that all the individuals in the group are dancing the same steps at the same time. Alternatively, various groups within the larger group may be dancing different, but complementary, parts of the larger dance.

Dance crazesNovelty and fad dances are dances which are typically characterized by a short burst of popularity. Some of them, like the Twist, Y.M.C.A. and the Hokey Pokey, have shown much longer-lasting lives. They are also called dance fads or dance crazes. As the pop music market got bombed in the late 1950s, dance fads were commercialized and exploited. From the 1950s to the 1970s, new dance fads appeared almost every week. Many were popularized (or commercialized) versions of new styles or steps created by African-American dancers who frequented the clubs and discothèques in major U.
Balinese danceBalinese dance (Tarian Bali; ᬇᬕᬾᬮᬦ᭄ᬩᬮᬶ) is an ancient dance tradition that is part of the religious and artistic expression among the Balinese people of Bali island, Indonesia. Balinese dance is dynamic, angular and intensely expressive. Balinese dancers express the stories of dance-drama through the bodily gestures including gestures of fingers, hands, head and eyes. There is a great richness of dance forms and styles in Bali; and particularly notable are those ritualistic dance dramas which involve Rangda, the witch, and the great beast Barong.

La danse traditionnelle se réfère au répertoire chorégraphique essentiellement rural, par opposition au répertoire citadin, comme la danse de théâtre ou la danse de société. Le terme de « danse traditionnelle » tente de réconcilier des concepts très divers, apparus au fil du temps, comme danse nationale (principalement au ), danse folklorique (le synonyme le plus fréquent après la Seconde Guerre mondiale), danse ethnique (davantage préoccupée des danses extra-européennes) ou danse populaire (mêlant danse de ville et de campagnes).

International folk danceInternational folk dance includes Balkan dance, Middle Eastern dance, contra dance, Hungarian dance, polka, Chinese dance, and Japanese dance. Clubs featuring these ethnic dance genres are enjoyed by non-professional dancers for entertainment. Many clubs that use collections of ethnic folk dances will use the term "international folk dance" or similar in their name. International folk dance developed in the immigrant communities of the United States of America during the first half of the 20th century.
