(included with membership)

 

Friday Nights

December 5, 12, 19  (no class December 26, January 3)

 

Instructor: Karen Shackleford

 

Singles and couples welcome

 

6:45 - 7:30 pm - Silver 1 Open - Learn, Review, Connect

This class is based on the NEW DVIDA syllabus figures that were taught in the previous month's Tuesday 6:15 pm Silver 1 class. The Silver 1 figures from the previous month, or elements of them, will be developed into patterns by incorporating elements from the original DVIDA silver syllabus and/or creative elements.  

Partner changing during class will be structured and is encouraged but not required.

December - East Coast Swing

 

Prerequisite: Completion of DVIDA Full Bronze in the genre being taught.  For the smooth dances, demonstrated ability to lead or follow Silver figures 1 and 2.

Attendence in the previous month's Tuesday Silver 1 class is not required. However, since the material for these classes is based on the DVIDA syllabus figures taught in the previous month's Tuesday Silver 1 classes, Silver 1 students will find it helpful and so are encouraged to attend the Tuesday Silver 1 classes. Experienced Silver Level Dancers should do fine but could also benefit from attending these classes,  If uncertain whether or not you meet the prerequisite for Friday classes, please book a free placement consult with Karen.

 

7:30 - 8:15 pm - Practice Session

This will be an uninterrupted 45 minutes of practice music.  Genres will include foxtrot, swing, rumba, cha cha, waltz, and whichever specialty dance is being taught in the current month in the Tuesday Beginner Bronze 7:00 pm slot.  Music will be edited for length to facilitate changing from genre to genre more frequently.  When possible, songs will be selected to support more than one genre (e.g. dance your choice of rumba or cha cha or swing).

While there will be no structured partner-changing, everyone attending is asked to have an awareness of men or women who are attending without a partner, and to occasionally change partners so that no one is left on the sidelines.  This will be a mixed level group, and everyone is asked to keep an eye out for beginners who may appreciate assistance.

 

Prerequisite: None, but this session is open only to Queen City Ballroom Big-5 or Membership* students (someone who is currently taking or has taken membership classes or Big-5 private lessons within the last three months).
