Ballroom - Waltz
Class Details
American Smooth Waltz is a graceful ballroom dance known for its flowing rise and fall, elegant traveling patterns, and smooth turning movement. This all-level 4-week series is designed for both brand new dancers and those with experience, making it a welcoming space to build strong fundamentals while continuing to refine technique, confidence, and musical expression. Across the series, dancers will work on core timing, frame, partner connection, and movement quality while exploring the smooth, sweeping character that makes Waltz feel timeless and expressive. Whether you are learning for the first time or revisiting the basics with more intention, this class offers a strong foundation and room to grow. Week 1 Box Step and Change Steps plus a simple turn and twinkles Week 2 Promenade Twinkle and Promenade Chasse with clean endings Week 3 Natural and Reverse Turns with an underarm turn option Week 4 Flip Flops and a Grapevine or Zig Zag NOTE: Progressive courses gradually layer new concepts each week and provide time to review and build muscle memory. It’s an effective way to improve as a dancer while becoming more confident, connected, and comfortable in social dancing.
