To accommodate busier schedules, short workshops are offered to provide a working foundation of a style to be used at weddings or other events.



NOTE To facilitate learning and mastering “lead” and “follow” techniques, partner exchanges will be practiced.

CLASS STRUCTURE

Attention will be given to correct posture and dance form as well as the subtle directions given by the "Lead."  To facilitate learning, the instructor will implement partner changes.  Style and technique will be introduced and encouraged later in each session.

To ensure students have an opportunity to practice what they have learned with one another, social outings will be scheduled.  Students will also be informed of Dubuque Ballroom Club dance evenings to further their skills.

HAIR and ATTIRE for Ballroom

Regular street clothes are permissible, but allow yourself room to move comfortably and freely.

Ladies, pull your hair back to allow ease of sight and to keep it from swinging into your face or your partner’s while moving.
