there are two main categories that ballroom dance is divided into: Ballroom/standard and Latin American. Ballroom/Standard has five dances within its category that are the Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep, Tango and the Viennesse Waltz, the Latin American category also has five dances that are the Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba Paso Doble and the Jive (the Jive is why its Latin AMERICAN, not just Latin) theres other dances known as sequence dances that are in two categories as well, New Vogue and Old Time/Classical Sequence. in these groups i cannot remember how many dances are in each, nor am I going to attempt to name them but what makes them different is that all the dancers have the one routine, there is no variation on it and they are judged in copetitions by floor prescence, footwork, posture etc.
Hope i helped.

What are some examples of ethnic dance in the Philippines?
The terms Ethnic and Traditional dance are used when it is required to emphasize the cultural roots of the dance. It this sense, nearly all folk dances are ethnic ones. Even if some dances, such as Polka, cross ethnic boundaries (and even cross the boundary between Folk and Ballroom dance!), ethnical differences are often considerable enough to speak of, e.g., "Czech Polka" vs. "German Polka".On the contrary, not all ethnic dances are folk ones. The simplest example are ritual dances or dances of ritual origin.
