Description of Monday Program
7-8:30pm - Bachata (Open Level)
This 3 week Bachata program is an open level program for both new and experienced dancers. The curriculum is designed to develop participants for social dancing. As in all of our programs, we use a curated collection of shines (footwork patterns), drills, and partnerwork patterns to build up all of the foundational skills the participant needs to become proficient as social dancers.
The shines and patterns in this progressive program will begin by grounding the movements in the foundations of the dance. By the last week, the program will reach an advanced beginner level.
"Open Level" programs are open to both new dancers and to those who have developed enough capacity to social dance. We encourage participants to glean what they can from the lessons without taking on the pressure of learning and remembering the shines and patterns in their entirety.
8:30-9:30pm - Bachata Practice *
*Bachata Practice is included in the program at no additional cost
The Bachata practice is a time to put the knowledge, movements, technique learned in class into practice to develop as social dancers. We will only play Bachata for the full duration of this practice. Participants are encouraged to review what they've learned, try new moves and techniques, and social dance. There will be no formal instruction during this time but exploring questions is highly encouraged.
📍 These lessons will take place in the "Chamber Gallery" at Vintage City Offices, located at 50 Union St, Elizabeth, NJ
🅿️ There is municipal parking directly across the street. We'll give you a voucher in class.
