NOTES:

NOTE 1: Social Ballroom Dance Levels 1, 2 & 3: Dances to be covered include Rhumba, Cha Cha, Jive, Foxtrot, Tango and Waltz. Foxtrot and Tango are American style, which is best suited to social dancing for fun, on small and/or crowded dance floors. In the Level 3 class, Quickstep and Samba may also be added. Upon completion of Social Ballroom Dance Level 3, you are eligible to advance to the Pre-Bronze Syllabus classes (described below) or the 5 week Mini-courses held on Wednesday and Friday evenings.

NOTE 2: Pre-Bronze, Bronze & Advanced Bronze syllabus ballroom dance: In these classes, we follow a set syllabus, only covering those dances and steps listed in the official syllabus, so it is more structured than the Mini-Courses described elsewhere. We will be covering the following dances only: Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Quickstep, Rhumba, Cha Cha, Jive & Samba. In addition to learning figures at the appropriate level, we will also focus on developing a good basic dance technique, as this is important in order to dance well and look and feel your best out on the floor. It is important to note that there is more material in each syllabus than can be adequately covered in only one term of dance classes. Therefore, it is recommended, although not mandatory, that you anticipate taking three terms of each level, for example, fall, winter & spring. The Pre-Requisite for Pre-Bronze is completion of Level 3. Upon completion of three terms of Pre-Bronze, and the recommendation of the instruction, you can advance to Bronze, and/or you can enroll in the Mini-Courses described elsewhere. Upon completion of three terms of Bronze, you are eligible for Advanced Bronze. Registration is through Saanich Commonwealth Place and the cost is $88 pp plus GST. Subject to space availability, these classes may be joined at any time, and you can continue to participate for as long as you wish by signing up for each new session as it comes up, i.e. fall, winter & spring. It is possible to sign up for only the first five weeks, or only the last five weeks, but preference will be given to those signing up for the complete ten week term.
