Ballroom music encompasses an elegant and diverse range of dance-oriented orchestral and ensemble arrangements designed to accompany formal partner dancing. Characterized by its rhythmic precision, smooth flow, and sophisticated ambiance, the genre lends itself to a variety of dance styles, including the waltz, tango, foxtrot, and quickstep, among others. Artists within the ballroom genre, such as The Richard Romance Orchestra and Alfred Hause, often focus on creating music with a steady tempo and clear beat for dancers to follow effortlessly. The compositions are typically instrumental, featuring lush strings, brass, and occasionally woodwinds, with arrangements that evoke a sense of grandeur and romance suitable for the opulent setting of a traditional ballroom dance floor.
