BEGINNER DANCES
The
following dances were written specifically to teach new
beginners during a 12 week course.
We have
used this program with great success in our classes and can recommend it.
Vol 2 is more current and we tend to use these
dances interspersed with selections from Vol. 1
Once our dancers know the steps we introduce more
traditional beginner dances.
I
suggest that you start with the first dance and work your way through
them.
We try
to teach the first 3 plus the 12 step waltz in the first class.
Most
people pick these up, but of course they don’t remember them.
Because we have mixed level classes our beginners
learn to dance ‘their’ dances to other music and
in this way they can continue to dance while our
more experienced dancers do ‘their’ dances.
It works well for us and everyone gets to stay for
most of the 3 hours that we offer at our classes.
The step
sheets will tell you which steps each dance is focussing on.
GOOD LUCK!
Oh I forgot to
mention that the dances listed below are actually cd’s.
They are
available for sale for $34 posted in
