Each level teaches both:
- Moves — what to dance
- Technique — how to dance it with better timing, connection, turns, footwork, and confidence
Every level builds on the one before it, so you develop a strong foundation instead of feeling lost. Students have access to online videos to review the specific steps and techniques for their level between classes.
When you feel ready and have mastered your current level, you can evaluate with an instructor to move up.
