The radio wasn't invented until the 1880s. Commercial radio broadcasts and the personal radio receiver weren't in common use until the 1920s.

I would suggest that you do your own research. I am guessing you made a typo because there weren't any radios in the 1830s. According to Wikipedia (not really a reliable source but bear with me), the invention of the radio didn't start until later in the 19th century.
You might want to do a Google image search on the subject.

There were no radios in the 1830s. People danced to live music.

I'll assume you mean the 1930's when radio reached its true style: dances the foxtrot, Charleston and its variants, radios were large, say the size of a microwave to almost as large as a TV. Radios were square, rectangular but often in the shape of a rounded tombstone, arched top, rather large speaker. All "AM" radio, mono not stereo or such.
I recall as my grandparents, and parents homes still had such
when I was born in the 40's.

You must mean 1930s. I sincerely hope you know there were no radios in the 19th century.
Radios were big, sometimes pieces of furniture, always bulky, and they had very poor sound compared to what we expect today.
The foxtrot, tango, samba, waltz, cha cha would all have been danced during portions of the 30s. No fast dancing; all dancing was the couple holding each other for at least a portion of the moves.

There were no radios in the 1830s.
If you mean 1930s they had record players that were wound up (called gramophones). Jazz was popular music, although at clubs there were bands playing (like Looie Armstong) rather than recorded music.
People danced the jitterbug and girls called flappers started to dress sexy, in short skirts and makeup.

Square dancing and waltzes were about the only dances, other than some of the ethnic dances.
