Classes
Beginner Classes:
These are introductory level classes, which are designed to teach and inspire the student with little or no previous dance experience. By introducing the steps in an easy to understand way, students will learn the basic fundamentals of blending patterns, timing and lead and/or follow, and will see how easy and fun learning to dance can be.
Although our students goals vary from one individual to another, our goal for these classes is to give the students a feeling of accomplishment that they can take to the dance floor at the next party or event and join in on the fun of dancing! And also, to lay a good foundation of basic fundamentals for them to advance to higher levels of dancing in the future if they so desire.
Intermediate Classes:
These classes are for those that have previous dance experience and/or have completed the beginner level classes for that particular style of dance. Amalgamations (groupings of patterns) will be introduced that will inspire and require the students to move around the floor with improved footwork technique, stronger lead/follow skills, and an introduction to basic styling techniques such as arm, leg, and hip and torso movements, in order to create a more polished and poised appearance. These classes are for those that want to have a higher level of confidence when they are on the dance floor as well as creating an even stronger foundation for those who want to pursue more advanced goals for their dancing.
Advanced Classes:
These classes are designed to satisfy the needs and goals of the "serious" ballroom dancer. Heavy doses of technique, styling, and advanced fundamentals of dance accompany intricate step patterns that are intended to make the advanced student a standout on the dance floor. Most, but not all, of the students in these classes participate in performances and/or competitions and have a full appreciation for ballroom dancing not only as a fun form of recreation, but also as an artistic form of self expression, as well as a demanding physical activity.
Private Lessons:
For most students, private or individual instruction, offers the quickest and most comprehensive way for the students to achieve their dance goals. For some, a first dance for an upcoming wedding that requires learning a particular dance to a special song is what they need to make their event a complete success. Others may be driven by the desire to compete with the world's top amateur ballroom dancers. Most are somewhere in between, with dancing being their recreational hobby that they can enjoy in any social situation. Students have the opportunity to learn exactly what they want to learn, at a pace that is comfortable for them.
