Beginner Level Classes -- No Experience Required!
Cover the pre-Bronze steps for about eight basic International and American style dances and social style dances during a typical fall or spring semester. A typical list of dances will include:

Cha Cha     Rumba Samba
Waltz Tango East Coast Swing
Salsa American Foxtrot  

Members begin by learning the basics, focusing on movement, frame, balance, lead and follow, and proper execution. Additional steps are added throughout the class hour and over the whole semester.

Intermediate Level Classes
Build on the pre-Bronze steps and cover the Bronze steps for the dances that we introduce in the Beginner Level Classes. Classes also include more difficult dances in the International style, such as Foxtrot, Quickstep and Jive. Classes focus on improving the techniques and building a practicalroutine for each individual dance.

Members wishing to take the intermediate classes should have previously taken the beginner level class or its equivalent elsewhere.

Advanced Level Classes
The advanced level classes are geared toward the experienced dancer who islooking to improve their dancing by working with a professional teacher. Past advanced level classes have included all ten International style dances, and they are Waltz, Viennese Waltz, Quickstep, Tango, Samba, Rumba, Cha-cha, Jive and Paso Doble. The type of classes offered each semester changes because of the availability and interests of the teachers.

Members wishing to take the advanced class should have previously taken the intermediate level classes or its equivalent elsewhere, and have a sincere desire to learn more about dancing.
