The 2 dance styles we have chosen to teach. Picture yourself performing your chosen dance routine at a red carpet event. This is an amazing opportunity to learn something new, raise money for local charities and feel amazing in 2019
Which one is your favourite?
1 - American Smooth:
Picture Fred and Ginger gliding across the screen, sometimes together, sometimes apart, but always in perfect time. This is American Smooth. Adapted in America from the traditional standard dances of Europe, American Smooth includes four dances that are also performed in the International Standard: waltz, tango, foxtrot and Viennese waltz. While the Standard dancers must remain in contact throughout, American Smooth couples are allowed to separate, and even perform solo moves, before rejoining. This “open hold” gives them more creative freedom and leads to a distinctly different kind of expression than is seen in the International Standard style.
2- The Charleston:
A lively and energetic dance that’s characterised by kick steps and twisting feet. This animated dance is most popular today as a partner style dance that has ties to swing dancing and Lindy Hop.
