Question:

In dancesport competitions, how long is 1 event? example, cha-cha, how long is the music played??

do standard and latin categories have different durations??


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The duration is between 90 and 120 seconds, with the exception of Viennese Walts wich is 60-90 seconds for Standard, 90 seconds for Smooth. The duration for all other dances in Latin and Standard is the same.
They allow at least 20 minutes between rounds.
You can find the rule book here, see page 8: http://usabda.org/dancesport_competitors... Those are USA Dance rules, but I'm pretty sure they made this part consistent with IDSF rules.
