BALLROOM DANCE, ST 19901 (CRN 23633): Waltz, Swing, Tango, Hustle: for total beginners: no previous dance experience required, and no partner needed: we will rotate partners frequently. Our approach to dance is learner-friendly, entertaining and fun. No between-meeting practice is expected. The syllabus geared for social ballroom, leaning heavily on American syllabus, but with commonly simplifications and additional fun ideas. This for is social ballroom , not Dancesport competition.
We are non-judgemental instructors. We encourage questions, and give plenty of one on one attention. A unique aspect of our approach is that we continually revisit specific ways that both partners can look good & feel good on the dance floor.You are DANCERS, not just leader & follower! And there is lots more to each dance style than just different steps and patterns.There is drama, expression, lyricism, and the emotional connection to both your partner and the music.
Course Fee: $65, bursared. (ST 19901 and 19902 are the only offerings in PALS not taught by salaried coaches. The course fee pays the instructor's salary).

SALSA DANCE, ST 19902 (CRN 23634): Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, ChaChaCha: No previous dance experience required, and no partner needed. we will rotate partners frequently. These Caribbean partner dances are currently the hottest, most popular club partner dances in Central NY, and possibly the world. Salsa gets the most club time, and we will spend most our time exploring it. You can think of this as "Club Prep," aspects of club experience beyond actual dancing are covered. Our approach to dance is student-friendly: entertaining and fun. We do not require between-class practice. Our goal is for you to rock out on the club dance floor, and be a sought-after, admired and fun dance partner at any Latin dance scene, both locally and anywhere.
Cuban, Dominican, NY and L.A. dance styles, both club and street, are covered in varying detail. The instructor is an aficionado of latin club and street dance - these are not dancesport or ballroom versions of the dances.
Course Fee: $65, bursared. (ST 19901 and 19902 are the only offerings in PALS not taught by salaried coaches. The course fee pays the instructor's salary).
