Beginning Ballroom We will introduce all the basic styles of ballroom dance. Starting with the smooth dances: Waltz and Foxtrot, and moving on to Swing. Then we will move to the Latin dances: Rhumba, Cha Cha, Mambo, and Salsa. We will finnish up with some more Swing. This class focuses on leading and following and familiarizing students with the basic pattern of each dance so that they can dance on their own with success! *Students who have taken class with us before are encouraged to come to the Thursday class where will will build on the basic steps and combine steps for more intermediate level dancing. Waltz The most elegant of Ballroom dances, the Waltz is an excellent place to start learning to dance. All the basic steps and leads are taught in a relaxed setting. Couples are given plenty of time to practice and lots of individual attention |
