The "type" of dance usually refers to the way it is executed, but there are many other cases.

All
This is an unfiltered view of "everything" or all types.
Circle
Dances that are done in a circle formation.
Partner
Dances that are done with a partner or partners.
This is intentionally not "Couples" because (C) for circles and (C) for couples would be confusing.
Line
Dances that are done in a line formation, typically with all the dancers facing the same direction.
Nostalgia
Dances that are decades old, but they are still recognized and danced. They are often circle dances, but they have a vintage associated.
Children
Dances that are typically for children. Often taught is schools or used in performances.
Misc
Miscellanous dances and music.
Other
Other music.
International
Music for dances of international origin. An israeli dance session leader may have music for other types of dancing on their computer, and this is included for completeness of filtering and music identification.
