If norms are the last thing you and your partner follow, and you prefer mixing things up, choose freestyle. A mix of everything from hip-hop, Bollywood and even disco, it’s a no-rules activity.

They can make up moves in styles such as jazz, belly dance, hip hop, blues, break dance, jumpstyle, and folk and electronic dance, to name a few.
