In this 10 week session you will learn two different styles of the most popular social and traditional dances: Waltz and Swing. Each of these dances comprises of it’s own character, music and style. and by the end of the ten weeks, the goal is to comfortably be able to move around the floor using the basic fundamentals of each dance.
The Waltz, also known as the “Mother of All Dances” demonstrates smooth, progressive movement traveling counterclockwise around the floor. Waltz is the only dance that uses ¾ time music. Therefore it is optimal to learn this dance for the most variety.
East Coast Swing (commonly known as Swing) is your fun, “rock and roll dance.” It’s lively flare and style is popular amongst all ages and originally dates back to the early 1920’s. The music most frequently used is anything from Charleston to Elvis Presley, and even today’s biggest pop hits. This session will help you learn your basics, and how to rotate and turn your patterns comfortably using many different eras of swing music.
