GROUP CLASSES

The Social Series - Social I, II & III

• The Social Series is geared toward the first time social dancers to the intermediate level enthusiasts. We follow a strict dance syllabus that includes four dances with approximately 5 - 7 steps per dance.

• Graduates of the Social Series can expect to be "Competent Social Dancers". Though they'll still get off time a bit with the music, they will have the ability to recognize musical rhythms for an assortment of dances. With a bump here and there, they will begin to possess the ability to negotiate the dance floor with a basic variety of dance patterns, hopefully without feeling like a pinball. Students are also learning to maintain adequate leading/following skills.

• Each of the three levels will focus on specific areas in order to develop the appropriate skills:

• Social I - "The Basics." Key focus: Dance elements, Basic patterns & basic rhythms.
• Social II - "Basics plus." Key focus: Amalgamating patterns to form complete dances, recognizing musical rhythms.
• Social III - "Putting it all together." Key focus: Lead/Follow techniques, Floor craft (the ability to negotiate the dance floor).

• Once a student has gone through the series (18 consecutive weeks with breath held and fingers crossed), he or she may be eligible to begin the Bronze & above level classes.

Dances Studied: The Four Majors (Rumba, Waltz, Fox Trot, Swing)

Prerequisites: None for Social I. Each level is a prerequisite for the next level. After completion of the Social Series, you may be eligible for the Bronze & above level classes.

Cost: Please see our current tuition rates.
