Ballroom Dancing

Ballroom Dancing will cover several of the 25+ Ballroom Dance styles including East Coast Swing, Tango, Cha-Cha, and Waltz. This applied performance class will teach students how to be able to dance socially. This will improve skills in coordination, etiquette, and muscle memory, leading or following a dance partner, as well as learning dances that can be practiced and used as a quality social activity throughout their lives. The class will conclude with a choreographed showcase. Parents will issue grades at their own discretion. Minimum Expectations: attendance, participation, and the final showcase.
