To register for our 300 level classes students must have taken ALL of the 200 level classes AND have approval to move forward. Just taking all of the 200 level classes does not guarantee admittance to the 300 level classes.
These classes are arranged into 3 one-hour weekly classes. In addition to the class topic, we always focus on musicality and proper dance floor etiquette (floorcraft) as well as perfecting the embrace (un abrazo) and posture.
To get credit for each series you must come to all 3 weeks. Each series is accompanied online with class notes and demonstration videos.
