Dance With Me
Dance With Me offers unique services in helping you learn to dance.
1) We teach private lessons out of a private studio in our home. We have taught in different ballroom dance studios and one thing most ballroom dance studios have in common is that they employ multiple dance instructors. This is a nice service to offer, however, this also means that any or all of these instructors could be teaching at any given time. When working with an individual student or a couple, we have a private ballroom almost 300 square feet in size that they will get to learn to dance in with complete privacy. Our students don't have to deal with the distractions of coming and going in an active "stripmall" ballroom studio nor do they have to share music with other students. We find this is a premium service that helps our students get the most out of their training time.
2) We teach special 6-week dance class series. These class series are structured around the many popular American ballroom dances, such as waltz, foxtrot, tango, east coast swing, lindy hop, west coast swing, hustle, mambo, salsa, cha cha, rumba, nightclub sway (nightclub two step), two step, triple two step, and others. We have structured a class series designed to give our students a concentrated dose of instruction and practice that gives them an excellent opportunity to take their social dancing to the next level. Our dance class series involves one two-hour session each week for six weeks. This class is not open to new participants after the first class in the series so that the class doesn't have to acclimate to new or different participants each week. Each session we give our students a half-hour at the beginning of class to review past material with music, ask questions on skills taught in the class, and warm-up before we begin new instruction. We spend an hour teaching new skills to refine everyone's dance technique plus introduce new patterns and styling. We end the class with a half-hour of practice and review time when everyone can reinforce the new information with their classmates plus ask any questions. We have had great success with these classes and have found the 6-week series to be a wonderful way to really help dancers grow and develop new skills and enjoy the group class setting at the same time.
3) We offer special dance workshops/parties throughout the year. We put together a series of dance workshops that happen in a single day/weekend to give our participants a large dose of dance instruction followed by a dance party for everyone to put their new skills into action and just have fun and dance the night away!
4) We offer our ongoing swing dance night with Swing Springfield out at Trolley's on the square in downtown Springfield. Every week on wednesday night we teach a class at 7pm in swing basics to help reinforce and review the fundamentals for the basics in swing dancing. This class is open for new people to help introduce them to the joys of swing dancing, plus for anyone who wants to solidify their understanding of swing dancing in general. At 7:30pm we continue into more intermediate and advanced material for dancers who have a good grasp of their basics. Then, from 8:30 to 11pm, we DJ a mix of swing music for everyone's dancing and enjoyment. For more information on the activities of Swing Springfield, please check out our forum at www.USDanceXchange.com.
We really enjoy sharing our love of dance with everyone, creating opportunities to dance, and dancing!
