New Formation Team beginning Sunday, August 1!
Rehearsals will run every Sunday from 3-5pm, August 1-September 19;
with dress rehearsal on Thursday, September 23, 8-9pm. Participants must
commit to catching up for any missed rehearsals with private lessons. Cost
is $200 per person, and does not include the cost of costume (this will be $50
or less). A partner is necessary to participate (ask Maria if you need help finding one).
Pre-requisite: knowledge of figures through Bronze III in Cha Cha,
Rumba, Swing, and Mambo (ask Maria for details). If you are interested in being part of
the Formation Team but don’t have the knowledge necessary (or you’re a little
rusty), this may be achieved in private lesson(s) before the first
rehearsal!
Accomplish 3 goals at once!
- Prepare to earn your Bronze III Medal Certificate during a testing session with a visiting Examiner in late
September. Students
will become proficient in dancing
the appropriate Timing/Rhythm, Footwork, Continuity and Lead/Follow; and
develop confidence, self-discipline, self-reliance and the ability to work
with others to reach goals.
- Learn routines that can be used in
competitions. This will enable
students to compete with different partners easily, since all will know the
same competitive routines. This
will alleviate the stress on the leader, who will not have to choreograph on
the spot; and it will allow for a lot of exciting material to be used
back-to-back without a lot of basics in between.
- Enjoy showing off your skills to
family and friends during our performances at social dances on Friday and
Saturday, September 24 and 25, as we celebrate National Ballroom Dance
Week! We will have a full
Formation Team with costumes, music, and an entertaining story
line.
