Level 1: Waltz Basics: Tips & Technique

October 13, 20, 27 ~ 7:45 - 9:00PM (3 lessons)
 

We'll cover the basics of footwork, partnering, leading and following; understanding the structure and rhythm of waltz music. Instruction is based on the traditional turning style waltz. We estimate that half the dancers on the floor, even some who have been waltzing for years, will benefit from basic technique instruction. The course is also suitable for those who know the box-step waltz, but want to learn this versatile and popular style.

Level 2: Beyond the Basics: One Good Turn Deserves Another

November 3, 10, 17 ~ 7:45 - 9:00PM (3 lessons)
Expand your repertoire of moves and develop your partnering skills:
Nov 3

Nov 10

  pivots & twirls
