Silver Program
Silver is the dance standard with a high degree of styling. More
elaborate movements ensure the Silver dancer will stand out on any dance
floor. Continuity of movements makes a couple glide across the dance
floor with many natural directional changes. Styling, technique, balance
and control take on an entirely new meaning. This is the beginning of
the more professional standard used mainly on the ballroom floor.
Gold
Program
Our Gold standard is strictly for the hobby dancer interested in
performances, exhibitions or competitions. Its intricate patterns are
only to be used when both partners are proficient. Choreography,
styling, technique and showmanship are necessities in this standard.
This material is generally not used on a crowded floor. There is a lot
of work involved in this program, but you will truly be regarded as an
outstanding dancer, able to excel in any dance.
