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
