I you're watching a pairing dance you also might be asked what you see that you liked or disliked (good sharpening of your skills)

Explanation of Levels

​

• Level 1 -  No Experience Necessary - This class series will be the same material taught every series, and therefore many take this level multiple times as a refresher, to really understand and apply the information given, and/or as a warm up for the Level 2 class

• Level 2 - Level 1 Graduate- See bottom of page for what is taught/covered for that each particular month.

• Level 3- Level 2 Graduate- Turn techniques, Leaders Turns, Re-directs, Sling Shots, Variations, and so many more. Learning how your basics can be changed into Intermediate moves and the techniques behind them. The moves and information learned in this class is endless. You will not be bored!

• Level 2-3- Drills/Technique/ Musicality- Level 1-2 Graduate ​- Each month will be concentrating on one of the three mentioned. We will dive deep into that area of dance, so you walk away with a better understanding, more knowledge and be able to apply the concepts immediately to your dancing socially. This is definitely not a class to miss out on.
