Class Descriptions

American Cha Cha Cha
Understand technique and body movement in American Cha Cha from a cutting edge perspective. Weight transfers, collecting your feet underneath you, turns in cha cha, and connection will be developed.

American Swing
Let Emmanuel teach you how to create dynamics in your Swing from overturned side passes, fast turns, and learn which steps are compact, which steps separate, and more!

Body Isolations
How should you warm up your body when getting ready to dance American Rhythm? Learn what the competitors do to warm up their bodies before practice and competition. Get ready to work out!

American Rumba
Incorporate ribcage action, arm styling and body movement to take your Rumba to the next level.

Creating speed
Ever wonder how those competitive dancers move SO FAST? This class will explore several aspects of speed and how to develop it yourself.

Bolero
Getting the most out of extension, rise and fall, and the development of balance and arm styling will be the subjects of this Bolero class.

American Mambo (Ballroom style!)
Twisting hips, quick legs and a fun, open Mambo side-by-side pattern will surely ignite your Mambo dance at the next competition or party!
