Thursday, 9-24: Instructional Classes Begin
We have two instructional classes: Beginner 6:30-7:30 and Intermediate 7:30-8:30.
Club members must assist in at least two class sessions per semester, but most are there all the time. You're always welcome to come help!
See Forum page http://umlballroom.org/node/4
The Thursday/Sunday schedule of Instructional Classes and Club lessons continues uninterrupted through Thursday, November 12, 2009.
At that point Club lessons remain on Sundays and partner practice takes over the time on Thursdays.
How Club Lessons Work new for this year!
Club lessons on Sundays will be taught in three sections, with all three sections working on a single theme or set of figures. Times are approximate and may be adjusted. The Lessons will always start at 6:30 PM.
- Section 1 is 6:30-7:30, and will teach the fundamentals and mechanics of the figures being studied. Dancers of all levels should attend.
- Section 2 is 7:30-8:15, and will work on technique, based on the moves learned in Section 1. Dancers Bronze and up should attend. Newcomers are welcome to as well, but it be a bit more difficult.
- Section 3 is 8:15-9:00, and extends the figures into Silver-level style and technique. Continuity footwork will be used. Dancers wishing to learn and develop silver-level dancing are encouraged to stay for this section.
