There are 3 types of social dances:

Stomp

Fish

  Side- Step Shuffle

  Stomp is a shuffling type of dance, the right foot leads and the left foot is brought up to meet the right.  The feet "hit" the floor with just enough impact to maintain the beat of the song.

Fish is a dance where each foot hits in two or more consecutive beats.

Side-step shuffle is done by the women, the right foot and the left foot shuffle oppositely.
