Objective
The objective the
Learn To Dance Program is simply to get new
dancers onto the dance floor with as little effort as possible. It is not
intended to prepare the student for competition dancing. As such there are
very few rights or wrongs. The requirements are to have fun and don’t get
hurt. Very few “steps” are necessary to enjoy ballroom dancing. This is
designed to help beginners overcome their initial fears and empower them,
using very simple methods, to just start dancing and have fun. If you can
walk you can dance – and if you can walk to the beat of the music - then you
can dance well!
One genre (dance type) is taught at each session. The sessions are
structured such that they alternate between fast and slow dances. As such,
in any four week period one can learn two fast and two slow dances.
The four most popular dances are the waltz, foxtrot, east coast swing, and
cha-cha. One or two of these will be included in every consecutive 4-week
section. As such, students can start at any time and be assured they will
learn two fast and two slow dances and at least one of the most popular
dances. This is more then enough to get out and start enjoying social
ballroom dancing.
Below is the current genre rotation.
The number refers to the week. You can index from a known starting point.
With the holidays we have not been able
to stay with the schedule. We will try but conditions always change. The
schedule is reset as follows.
Week nine 10 is:
Monday
29 January Great Barrington
Tuesday
30 January Pittsfield
Wednesday 31 January Adams
- Note: Adams has both beginners & intermediate dancers so what is taught
there often deviates from the schedule.
