No Class Monday, September 6th - Labor Day
- Technique is THE primary thing that makes the different dances not only look different from each other, but allows you to perform the maximum amount of movement with the least amount of effort. When you see good dancers making it look easy, they have Ballroom technique. This class is divided into two parts; technique for the steps taught in the Bronze Rhythm and also the Bronze Smooth classes during the prior week. If you want to take your dancing to the highest level possible, these classes are for you!
- This class is perfect for beginners to advanced dancers.
