CLASS DEFINITIONS
BEGINNER (New Beginner) /LEVEL 1: This class is for first time dancers. We repeat the same routines to help build confidence and introduce the steps with the terminology used with each new beginner term. Starting from the very basic steps and adding something new each week. It is highly encouraged to attend each week so you don’t miss out.
BEGINNER EXPERIENCED or Low improver/LEVEL 1.5: This class is for students that have completed a minimum of 6 months of beginners and wish to move up to Improvers but want a little bit more help. This class is slower then an improver class and we focus on 1 or 2 dances that are already being done at the improver level. We do as much as we can in one class, rolling over to the following week what we didn’t finish.
IMPROVER/LEVEL 2: Improver class is an easy class for students confident with the beginner dances. The routines taught in an improver class contain more step combinations and a few more turns then beginner routines. This level never “starts” again like beginners, with a new dance taught most weeks; sometimes its an easy improver dance, sometimes a harder improver dance.
EASY INTERMEDIATE/LEVEL 2.5: This is a cross over between level 2 (Improver) & 3 (intermediate). The dances are harder then an improver but don’t contain to many complicated steps/turn. Just allows you to think a little more. Great step up for those also wanting to move to level 3 (intermediate). A full easy intermediate class is just easier dances. Where you see an intermediate class, easy Intermediate dances will start the class and then progress harder.
INTERMEDIATE/LEVEL 3: Confident in everything from Beginners– Easy Intermediate? Then this class is for you. Dances are more complicated in all accounts and great workout for the brain. This class is usually for the more confident dancer that has completed all levels below.
MAINSTREAM: This is an intermediate level class that teaches all levels of dances from beginner - Upper Intermediate. Easier routines are taught at a much quicker pace. Intermediate level routines will be taught at the usual intermediate pace.
BRIDGING CLASS: This class is for any student of Improver/Easy Intermediate level that wishes to try out the Intermediate dances/Level 3. We focus on one dance for a whole month during the 30 minute class. the 1st week is usually only 1 wall of the dance, then adding each week. Attending this class is not about learning a whole routine perfectly, but about practicing the harder step combinations, triple spins, quicker count etc….. At the beginning of each month a new dance is started.
