Family Class: 9:30am - 10:05 ~ This class is for youngsters 4 to 8yrs and their parent(s). The kids learn to listen to, and move with music, and work as a team while they learn basic dance steps and formations. There’s usually a lot of giggles, and the dancing can be somewhat chaotic — and fun!
Young Improvers and Intermediate Class: 10:15am - 11:15 ~ ‘Young improvers’ are older children in the Family Class who are gaining confidence with steps and formations. They stay and join intermediate level dancers for the first part of this class. The intermediate dancers are age 9-12 and they are polishing steps and mastering new figures and formations.
Senior Class: 10:15am - 11:30 ~ Teens join the Intermediate Class and learn to dance with confidence and poise. Strong friendships are formed and leadership skills develop. Importantly, self-confidence flourishes. Teens are quick to pick up dances and thrive on challenge. That’s what they get in the last part of the class They learn just-for-fun dances, and they also concentrate on intricate, elaborate dances.
