Dancers are able to dance the variety of styles, movements, and maneuvers taught by most major studios worldwide. Ballroom dance boasts many different styles, cultures, and genres. Social (Bronze) refers to the many dances done to the most popular rhythms and music. One might find several different dances being done at the same time. Ballroom (Silver)refers to the more fluid and elegant style of dance where everyone is generally dancing the same dance ... often a little more advanced style. The Gold is a more elaborate style more correctly seen in competitions and exhibitions. Private Program Private instruction is one-on-one time with the instructor. When combined systematically with Step Classes, it is the best, and quickest, way to learn. One may learn the steps in a group class, then follow with the music awareness, style, technique, lead/follow, and character nuances that can only be mastered with specialized attention and practice. Private instruction does not infer a private room. Others might be receiving private classes at the same time. Group Program Group classes are held daily. Classes focus mostly on the proper style, steps and patterns of the dance, and are appropriately geared toward a specific level of ability (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced). No partner? No problem. Classes are taught in a comfortable, noncompetitive, and informative manner, and everyone is given the opportunity to have a partner. Junior Program Ages 7-9 and 10-12 combine Ballroom and Latin dance with Jazz, Ballet, and other basic and popular dance forms. The program is comfortable, noncompetitive, and self-paced.
