DANCESPORT TRAINING PROGRAM

The DANCESPORT TRAINING PROGRAM is for those who are serious about their dancing and want to train on improve quickly in the most efficient path possible. The dance patterns and techniques taught are in accordance with the Imperial Society Teachers of Dan​cing  (ISTD) Ballroom Technique  and Latin-American Dancing Technique, so dancers will be prepared to compete both locally and internationally, should they so choose.

​The program is  composed of four parts:

1.  PRIVATE LESSONS
​
Students in this program take a minimum of one 30-60 minute lesson per week  with Suzie. At the end of the lesson, specific technical and practice goals will be set to achieve for the next lesson.

2.  GROUP CLASS 

Students should commit to attending the technique or drills class that matches their program, ballroom or Latin. 10 dance students should attend both classes. Classes will cover the ISTD syllabus sequentially
Students who go through this program will know and dance the syllabus patterns well for both leader and follower parts. The class provides a strong foundation of knowledge for competitors as well as future teachers.

Following class is a supervised practice where students can check in with individual feedback.

3.  PRACTICE

It is expected that students in this program commit to practicing at least 3 x week 30-60 min. For active competitors, more practice is suggested. Suzie's Studio is available for free for practice for students in this program in off hours.  

​4.  PERFORMANCE AND COMPETITION 

For participants of the Dancesport school, competition and/or performance is not required, but recommended as tool a tool to focus our improvement,  build confidence, and train our technique into habit. Local performance opportunities are provided  once a month. Competitions are commonly held in the Bay area every 2-3 months.
