Social Foundation Programs
Most students start with a social foundation program.  A social foundation program is for students who are just
getting their feet onto the dance floor.  These smaller programs will help determine a students rate of learning, retention and interest level or simply prepare them for an upcoming special event.  These programs are perfect for wedding couples preparing for their first dance. 

The options offered with a social foundation program are group classes and/or small dance lesson packages.

(Additional 10% discount to all USA Dance Members!)

MEDAL SYSTEM
The Medal System is designed for students who want to be well-rounded social or competitive dancers.
The Medal System is an organized system of syllabus figures used worldwide to keep track of your dance
progress.  Syllabus figures, or "school figures," as they are sometimes called are small patterns of steps
that embody the primary elements of the dance.  These figures, or patterns, are split into three escalating levels of difficulty designated as "bronze," "silver" or "gold" levels: This is to enable the student to master each level before moving up to the challenge of the next, more difficult level.  Diligent study and practice of these elements at each level will produce a capable, well-rounded social or competitive dancer.

The Bronze Medal Program is designed for the student who wants to become a Good Social Dancer.  A Bronze dancer is considered to be fun to dance with and a good dancer in all the popular social dance styles.  Bronze dancers have a nice dance style and are able to dance with confidence at any dance occasion.

The Silver Medal Program is designed for the student who wishes to become and Advanced Social Dancer.  Silver dancers are set apart by their style and versatility on the dance floor in all dance styles.  These dancers are sought after on the dance floor.

The Gold Medal Program is designed for the student who wishes to become an Excellent Ballroom Dancer.
Gold Medal dancers have a complete and thorough knowledge of all the dance styles giving them complete
confidence on the dance floor.  Advanced style and poise sets Gold Standard Dancers apart from the rest.
