For students ages 5–19.
Syllabus Ballroom classes help students build a strong foundation in ballroom dance as they progress through Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels.
Students learn proper steps, timing, technique, partnering, posture, musicality, etiquette, and performance skills as they move through the program.
Students may not skip levels. This helps each dancer build the technique, confidence, and partner skills needed for long-term success.
Class placement is based on student age, experience, level, and program requirements.
