Many new and challenging figures will be introduced in this class. Here are just a few from the USISTD Gold syllabus: Underarm Passes, Progressive Fifth Position Breaks with Hand Change, Traveling Crosses (short and long version), Open Runs and Turns, and Promenade and Counter Promenade Runs


TUESDAY CLASSES (at Dance Elite in West Bloomfield)

Most of these figures belong to the Gold International Ballroom syllabus. It's a great pattern to know and dance at social and competitive events!

The most popular, useful and easy to learn dances will be introduced first. Join us in January, invite a friend and pursue a fun and healthy activity this year!


FRIDAY CLASSES (at the Dance Pavilion in Ypsilanti)
January 11, 18, and 25

7:00 PM – Bronze/ Silver Level
American Style Viennese Waltz
Viennese Waltz in the American Style syllabus is a fun dance to teach because it offers a variety of musical patterns. It is challenging but also fun to learn. The new steps you will learn will bring a smile to your face, and to the faces of everyone watching. Some of the figures you’ll learn are: Progressive Fifth Position Breaks (with and without Hand Change), Cross Body Lead to Left Underarm Turn, In and Out Hesitations, Back to Back Boxes, Promenade Hesitation and Run, and Fun Kicks.

8:00 PM – Silver/Gold Level
International Style Viennese Waltz
This month we only have three weeks of classes, so I decided to focus exclusively on the international Viennese Waltz! I would like to review the correct Rise and Fall, which is often misunderstood, and work on the coordinated action of Rotation, Swing and Sway. I also plan to introduce the secrets of the Contra Check and Natural Fleckerl. This class can be a great preparation for our upcoming medal test, but if you don’t plan to be tested, you can still take part!

SATURDAY PRACTICE (at the Dance Pavilion in Ypsilanti)
Every Saturday from 11:00 – 12:00 PM

Our Saturday practice sessions are gaining popularity! Each week we consistently have 6-10 dance couples. They are ideal for working on your material from group or private lessons or are perfect for competition or medal test preparation.
Join us! You will be surrounded by aspiring dancers and motivated to work on your technique.
TARGET WORKSHOPS: New!
My target workshops are for all dancers who are interested in a more in-depth approach to specific topics in ballroom dancing. They will be scheduled once a month, immediately after the Saturday practice session. Try these 1.5-hour workshops, which will improve your understanding of technique and motivate you to practice. A minimum of one year of studying in the Ballroom style is required to join this class. Cost: $30 per person.

Saturday, January 19 – from 12:00 to 1:30 pm – “Learn To Balance On Both Feet!” – proper weight distribution

Saturday, February 16 – from 12:00 to 1:30 pm – “To Turn or Not To Turn?” – creating beautiful dance position
