More about how we conduct our M-W-F Dance Classes
The instructor assesses the interests and capabilities of the students present and chooses one of the dances specified for the Class period. Each Class begins with a review of the basic rhythms and movements of a dance suitable for Beginners. Some details that will improve style, quality of movement, and partnering are also covered.
Next the instructor presents a few of the most popular figures (steps) of the dance. It usually takes beginners several classes to become comfortable with the essential dance skills and most popular figures. Each time these topics are presented, students make new discoveries that improve their dancing and partnering skills. Much repetition helps to develop good dance skills and confidence about leading and following successfully. Really good dancers practice basic figures very frequently to become conditioned to perform movements that are most stylish.
Later in each Class the instructor introduces some more advanced figures. These figures are upgrades and embellishments of the earlier figures and beginners may find them too difficult and be content to continue to work on the previous figures a while longer.
Most Classes start with basic movements and step combinations and then we show participants ways to improve and embellish basics for more advanced and stylish dancing. Advanced dancers work several hours every week on the movements and exercises covered in these classes. They understand that their success comes from continuing improvement of fundamental skills for movement and connection. We also offer more advanced classes for qualified dancers. Find out more about our programs for advanced dancers by contacting studio manager (see below)
Practice Dance Sessions are offered every week after the 7:30pm Class on Fridays. These Practice Sessions give new and experienced dancers great opportunities use their dance skills, have fun, meet other dancers, and learn more from instuctors and experienced students. The atmosphere is elegant yet casual with great Latin and Ballroom Music and club style lighting. Snacks and soft drinks are included.
