Where should I start?
LEVEL 1: This is our novice or beginner level. If you have never danced before or are new to dancing this is the class for you. We will be starting at the beginning of each dance working on basic steps and explaining the terms that we will be using throughout your dance experience. Although this is considered the novice level it is still a good class to take even if you have some experience as you may hear things that you have forgotten or not heard before in previous classes. Reviewing your basics is always a good thing.
LEVEL 2: This will be a continuation of level 1 working on new steps but remaining in basic level. Technique will be introduced to help you improve and understand the quality of movement for a more enjoyable dance experience. Recommended for those that have some dance experience and wish to develop the dances more completely. If you have struggled with dances in the past this is a good class for continued review and practise.
LEVEL 3: Experience is necessary for this class. This may not be the class for everyone and its recommended that you at least have some experience in level 2. The material learned in this class will be more choreographed to develop continuity and help the leader to understand how the steps can be used on the dance floor for a more flowing experience.
QUICK REVIEW PROGRAM: This class is great for the beginner/intermediate or for those that want to drop in and experience the classes. We will be doing a different dance each week and some dances that are not listed on the program. This gives us the opportunity to review new dances without having to make the 4 week commitment to any 1 class. Everyone is encouraged to attend and the classes will be catered to the people in attendance.
If you have further question concerning classes or which class may be best suited to your experience feel free to call Dale to discuss your options.
Dale will be more than happy to help you develop a program best suited to you and your dance ability and experience. Private lessons are encouraged as this will help Dale to guide you and develop your dancing as quick as possible.
