The Lilac Waltz - easy peasy- can do without looking at other people's feet
The Alpine Stroll - get your breath back with this one
The Veleta - knew from school days - CDWLAOPF
St. Bernard's Waltz - knew from school days - CDWLAOPF
Sally Anne Cha Cha - my favourite - CDWLAOPF
Rhumba One - great wiggles in this one - CDWLAOPF
Tango Serida - must learn the arm and head movements to this as well as the feet!
Sindy Swing - mastered - CDWLAOPF
Mayfair Quickstep - mastered - CDWLAOPF
Balmoral Blues - reasonably easy
Pride of Erin Waltz - reasonably easy
Glengarry - ours is more of a two step than a shuffle and is progressive - great fun
I have not quite mastered yet ...
Glenroy Foxtrot - lots of turns
Ennerdale Waltz - as above
Catherine Waltz - ditto
Melody Foxtrot - oh my! It took me ages to learn how to quickly change feet. (hutchy up!*)
Tayside Tango - how's your twinkle and wing?
Waltz - whisk, wing, chasse, turn. Such a lot of different terms to remember. I can do a very basic waltz. My toes are still getting in the way.
Viennese Waltz - this is a great workout. I can go one way but need to master going the other way. (Just tried it in the kitchen and went dizzy. I'll stick to one way round for now.)
Foxtrot - slow and not so slow. Each partner seems to do the foxtrot differently, hence many trodden on toes. I just try and follow a partner who 'knows' what they are doing so my head seems to be always looking down at feet! The slow foxtrot starts off slow and ends up a race - more practice needed. I'm not too keen on the foxtrot at the moment. It feels like I'm treading precariously through hot coals!
Quickstep - still at the basic steps stage. I can turn and swivel.

These will take some time to perfect! ...
Jive - step back, triple, triple so the Youtube video goes.
Rock 'n' Roll - triple, triple, step, step? Sounds like the Jive to me! I need a partner who 'knows' what they are doing. Even then I can't see how those steps fit to the music.
My dance sessions keep me active and are a great workout plus they definitely keep the brain active!!
* my dance term

PS Further research shows another jive which is jiggling hands and arms about, swirling and turning and letting the feet look after themselves - I like this one.
