Traditional C/W dance has a straight line progressive style that can be performed to Country music as well as to Pop, Rock, Ballroom, & even EDM music. Come learn the basics of 6 of the most popular traditional C/W couple dances performed across the US. Dances include: Single, Double, & Triple Rhythms of the Texas Two-Step, Three-Step, One-Step, Country Waltz, and the intro to Country Swing. Emphasis is on traditional C/W dance styling, leading and following techniques, dance/music distinction and the development of dance move amalgamations. Beginning level moves and twirls will be taught using the "Dance Move Building Block" method. Once one pattern is learned the remaining patterns become easier to learn. Dancers will also be able to develop and create their own dance moves and amalgamations utilizing the “Dance Move Paradigm” method. Practice dance music and links to YouTube instructional videos will be provided so participants can practice at home between classes. Class is designed for the beginning dancer, no experience necessary.
Must register as a couple.
