Explanation of Levels

​

• Level 1 Bronze: No Experience Necessary - 6 count Rhythm, Left and Right Side passes )with left and right hand, Start Step, Zones A-C, Sugar Push with left and right hand and both hands, Right pass Under Arm Turn (Inside turn), Left pass Outside Turn with left and right hand, How to lead on the rails and the track properly, how to follow on the track properly, and how to create hand changes between patterns. 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 Silver/Gold level.

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

• Level 2/3- Level 1 Graduate- Turn techniques, Leaders Turns, Sugar Tuck from Closed Position, Sugar and Left pass Tucks to Hammerlock, Re-directs, Sling Shots, Open Whip,Technique, 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 1 Silver and Above Drills/Technique/ Musicality- Level 1 Bronze 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. Remember it's for Level 1 Silver and above! :o)
