Social Program

Our Social Program consists of three dance levels, Social 1, Social 2, and Social 3. We have changed our curriculum this year, to DVIDA. Our Social Program corresponds to DVIDA levels, Pre-Bronze, Intermediate Bronze, and Full Bronze. The Club does not offer certification in any of the three levels. Students choosing to obtain certification must do so at their own cost, on their own time. We have made this change so that students who would like a DVD of dance steps can purchase one on-line at the following link: www.prodvida.com

Social 1

This class is perfect for newcomers. Social 1 will give you the essential introduction to American Style dances. You will learn the basic patterns and work on timing, leading and following. Students are strongly encouraged to take Social 1 for at least two years.

Social 2

This class is designed for intermediate dancers and adds more challenging patterns. You will work on improving your lead and follow skills and pay more attention to footwork, leg and hip action, rise & fall, posture, frame and styling. This class will make you a good social dancer and fun partner. Students are strongly encouraged to take Social 2 for at least two years.

Social 3

For this advanced level you must have a very good understanding of the dances and be able to dance a variety of patterns with different partners easily. Your technical abilities are more defined. You will learn more elaborate patterns that challenge you further while still improving those skills that give you the "wow" in your dancing.

International Program

Our International Program consists of three dance levels. The Club does not offer certification in any of the three levels. Students choosing to obtain certification must do so at their own cost, on their own time.

International Bronze

This dance class is an advanced beginner class in the International Style. Students are strongly encouraged to take Social 1 and Social 2 for several years, and then take Bronze for at least two years. Students should be able to start on time to the music, maintain proper dance frame, and know many different dances and patterns prior to taking this class.

International Silver

The Silver class is designed for intermediate International Style dancers, who have taken several years of Bronze and are ready to advance their skills even more. A certificate at the Bronze level is desirable, but is not required. The Silver steps are more challenging, and in addition to the new steps, you will also work on improving your lead and follow skills and pay more attention to footwork, leg and hip action, rise & fall, posture, frame and styling. Students are strongly encouraged to take Silver for two or three years before advancing.

International Gold

Our Gold class is designed for advanced International Style dancers. For this level you must have a very good understanding of the dances and be able to dance a variety of patterns in each dance with different partners easily. Your technical abilities should be well defined and applied to the Bronze and Silver steps previously learned. The addition of intricate Gold patterns, combined with a higher level of styling, showmanship and technique, will keep you challenged for years to come.

Country Program

Country 1

This class is perfect for newcomers. Wear your blue jeans and cowboy boots to this class. You will learn the basic patterns and work on timing, leading and following in all the country dances. Students are strongly encouraged to take Country 1 for two years.

Country 2

Country 2 is an intermediate to advanced class, which adds more challenging patterns and skills. You will also work on improving your lead and follow skills and pay more attention to footwork, frame, connection, timing and styling. This class will make you a good social dancer and fun partner. Students in Country 2 can learn new material each year, as the patterns are changed each year.
