No previous dance experience required. Latin & Ballroom dance styles. Salsa, Merengue, Cha Cha, Hustle, Tango. Great music for dancing. Although oriented at TOTAL beginners, we offer extra material for quick learners as well (Want even more? Ask!). We are non-judgemental instructors, encourage questions, and do lots of review. This is a good energy course, and does not require between-class practice time (although you would benefit by it).
No partner needed: we rotate non-partnered dancers with each other frequently throughout each class, "a great way to meet people!" - Fall '97 student. If you do sign up with a partner, you are not required to rotate partners, except in our "mixer" dances. "Fun, fun, fun!" -Spring '98 student: Fun exercise, AND, becoming comfortable with socially acceptable, non-threatening, safe forms of touch with members of the opposite sex, in the context of music and dance, is delightful. It is a nice way to meet, and get to know people! Over 2/3 of our students take it as non-credit. AND, our student surveys show that the vast majority of our students take the course based solely on word-of-mouth recommendations of former students. Our approach to dance is student-friendly: fun, entertaining, and amusing. What do students have to say about the course? Check it out. |
