Do
I Need a Partner?
All of these dances are done with a partner. One partner does the
man's side (lead). One partner does the lady's side (follow).
Partners are never required for classes (except Advanced Level
classes). However, equal numbers of Men to Ladies is desired. (Or "leads"
to "follows" for the P.C. crowd.) We do try to rotate
partners in class, but this depends on the class dynamics. Some
people simply do not want to change partners.
If you don't have a partner, we do try to find one for you, but we
cannot guarantee one will be available who will be an acceptable
match in height, shape, weight, dance level, attitude, looks,
hygiene, financial portfolio or age. Therefore, it is to your
advantage to invite and bring your own partner who you already know
and like to work with in class and practice with outside of class.

Class
Levels:
Beginning - Intermediate - Advanced
Beginning Level 1 classes require little or no
dance knowledge at all. These classes are designed for the brand new
dancer with no rhythm and two left feet. All you need is a sense of
humor, a little patience with yourself and your partner, and a
willingness to learn.
These classes meet once each week for four weeks in a row, unless
otherwise noted. Each subsequent class builds on the previous week's
class, so it is important that you start with Class #1 and attend
all the classes in the series.
Level 2 Classes meet when there is enough
interest commitment indicated to hold a class. My desire is that
more beginning dancers would continue on to this level. You've
already done a lot of the "hard" work in the beginning
level - Let's move up and on !!
These Level 2 Classes pick up where L1 Classes left off.
More material is added plus proper techinique and styling options.
Therefore, It is necessary for you to already have a basic,
working knowledge of the paticular dance rhythm being addressed and
are comfortable with executing the basic material of that dance.
Level 3 Classes meet on most Thursday evenings.
The dance rhythm being addressed changes at the request of those
participating in the class. Partners are required for these classes.
These classes require a solid understanding and execution of the
dance rhythm being addressed.
Students in this class are at different intermediate and advance
levels. Instruction varies some for each couple. Therefore, couples
need to be able to work alone for a time after receiving specific
instruction, help or suggestions. |
