Key for Dance Levels
Couples Dances
Line Dances
Intro: These workshops are for people who have very little or no experience with this dance style.
Beginner: These are easier, shorter dances, great for people with little line dance experience but fun for dancers of all levels.
Examples: Tease, The Outlaw, Something In The Water
Basic: Dancers at this level are learning/mastering the basic steps of the dance and the set of standard moves which higher level dancing requires.  In addition to basic dance steps, we cover basic concepts such as Rhythm, Frame, Connection, and Lead/Follow.
Beginner-Plus: These dances are a little longer or more complex, including more turns and simple syncopations.
Examples: Dizzy, Tush Push, Hello Stranger
Intermediate: Most people who do a dance regularly are in this broad category.  You will learn more dance technique and fancier moves, but everything will be suitable for regular social dancing.
Intermediate: These dances often have many direction changes, faster music, different syncopation rhythms, and maybe even a tag or a restart.
Examples: Georgia Winder, I Wanna, Somewhere With You
Advanced: Here is where we get into subtler dance techniques, complex dance moves, rhythm changes, and so on.  Some content from these workshops may not be usable in all social dance settings.
Intermediate-Plus: These are the most complex dances that are suitable for large groups of line dancers.  Everything from Intermediate and more.
Examples: Chill Factor, Bang Bang
