Level 2 Classes: SOCIAL DANCE PROGRAM For the more Experienced Dancer
Level 2 classes are designed to raise the dancer into the next phase of dance development. The student should already be familiar with a variety of basic patterns in terms of muscle memory. The student will learn more complex patterns, syncopated rhythm counts, footwork, alignments, and other elements of technique. The focus now becomes development of technique that enhances the style and the character of the dance. The dance starts to shine through your movement, as an individual and as a partnership. Being a good dancer is "NOT how many" cool moves you do. Being a GOOD DANCER is "HOW" you move.Level 3 Classes: MEDAL PROGRAMS For the INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED DANCER
