Ballroom Dance Retreat Schedule
2008
Dance retreats are currently being offered for both beginners and intermediate dancers.
How do I choose between Beginners & Intermediate?
Here are some descriptions to help you decide on the most comfortable class for you. All students are different in their abilities so guidelines are approximate. Feel free to call and inquire if you are not sure which classes are best for you.
Beginner - Classes start with basic beginning steps and pogress into some fun, unique steps beyond the beginner's level. You will also develop and improve lifelong skills for comfortable dancing. Classes may include foxtrot, waltz, tango, rumba, swing, hustle/disco, or cha cha. This class is for students with approximately less than 3-4 months dance experience, roughly 20 lessons or less, or no previous dance experience. If you have not danced in awhile or feel out of sync, this will be a great review and a chance to learn some new moves.
Intermediate - For those who can already dance comfortably with at least 4-6 patterns for dances like foxtrot, waltz, tango, rumba, swing, cha cha, and hustle/disco. Dancers should have approximately 4 or more months dance experience, or approximately 20 lessons or more. The basic steps will not be reviewed in most cases.
