Learn all the good form and partnering skills
which will "spring-board" you to dance of all kinds
and for all reasons.
DanceWell offers a
Social Dance Program where our
goal is to present ballroom and partner dancing in a friendly,
holistic and upbeat atmosphere.
DanceWell also offers a
Ballroom Intensive Program ,
a nationally-based program patented by the Ballroom Dance Teachers
College of SanFran. This program is for those who like
a very structured learning environment, who wish to learn dance very
quickly or who may wish to
teach
dance themselves. It includes all DanceWell group
classes and parties plus a 2-hr. Intensive class weekly.
Here are pictures of our two beautiful
ballrooms, so you'll be familiar.
Ballrooms
Small group classes are held in the small studio and large classes
and parties are in the Large Ballroom. You will enter through
the small ballroom, which fronts Allen Blvd.
Some suggestions if you're new to dancing:
INTRO TO DANCE CLASSES are slower-paced for those who
have never danced before and need to learn about movement and
partnering. If you cannot take the Intro
classes, then taking a private lesson is a another great way to start
or have evaluation for class placement.
We encourage you to continue in
INTRO TO DANCE and our weekly Socials each month for review.
You do not need a partner in these classes as we rotate partners
regularly.
COUPLES CLASSES are fairly slower-paced and focus on one
dance, for those who would like
to dance only with their partner. No partner rotation in these
classes.
BASIC CLASSES are faster-paced, for those who would like
to learn more steps, more
quickly. Best if you've either had some sort of prior form of
dance discipline or if you learn movement quickly.
Partner rotation in
these classes.
Our calendar is scheduled so
that we often offer new INTRO
classes and new BASICS classes each
month. After taking a BASICS class, you may
choose to learn a new dance in another. There's lots of
different music out there and one dance does not suit all.
Remember to repeat each BASICS class at least
once since the class material is different the second time through.
OR You may choose to continue
to INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED classes. Stop
when you feel you know enough steps to have fun for a while.
You can take the class over again later for review and to add new
steps. Partner Rotation in all these classes.
More Notes:
You are
welcome to register for most classes the day of your class, just come in 15 minutes
early for registration. Some classes fill quickly and you may
wish to prepay earlier by phone: (503)241-0460 x0. Our limit is
40 students per class.
ALSO: The easiest
dances to learn at first are found in the Introduction to Dance
classes. The degree of difficulty varies for all other
dances. Feel free to ask advice about which classes would best
suit you.
We
hope you'll meet some new
friends and find dancing fun and rewarding
in many ways.
All the best to you in your
endeavor.
