OC DANCING BALLROOM DANCE STUDIO FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS
/ SOCIAL DANCE CLASSES / FIRST YEAR /
Our Beginners Dance Program is a first step for Children ages 5 to 14 to enter into the world of ballroom dancing. All ballroom dance classes for beginners are designed to make any student feel comfortable in any dancing atmosphere. We cover the basic steps, including body awareness and feet placement while moving with the music, as we go over popular dances in Latin and standard dances with the modern influence of today. No partner is required for this stage. In all of our ballroom dance classes for beginners, providing a fun learning experience is our goal.
Beginners Foundation Program is divided into 3 levels. Each level consists of a 3-month period of group classes. Children will present their dancing and pass the medal test at the end of each level.
