This syllabus is for
classes at Whispers only at present
It doesn't matter
which week you start; it is a 'rolling' programme.
However, all sessions need to be completed to ensure
progress.
LEVEL 1 - BEGINNERS
You will start by learning just four basic steps, a simple
turn and how to change places. You will be learning these
initially on your own and then with a partner. You will be
shown how to put these into a simple routine so you can
start dancing straight away! When you can do all these
smoothly without thinking and on time, you will be ready to
move on, in about 6 - 8 weeks.
LEVEL 2 -
IMPROVERS
You will have the basics in place so will now be ready to
move up and start to learn more turn combinations and
x-body variations. You will be adding more footwork,
styling, signals for leaders & followers & how to
put it together for the dance floor with more simple
routines which will incorporate all these. This will take
you at least another 8 - 10 weeks depending on how much you
practice.
LEVEL 3 - HIGH
IMPROVER/INTERMEDIATE
These classes are for dancers who are ready to start
building up their skills even more! It is expected that you
will have completed the beginner & improver sessions or
will have learned the techniques elsewhere. You will be
able to learn even more complicated footwork, double
turns/spins, incorporate more styling and routines. The
rest is up to you! Enjoy yourself; remember dancing is fun
not a competition!
