International Latin Pre-Bronze Program
This where it all starts with the International Latin Competitor Program. This program introduces the International Latin dances of the ChaCha, Rumba, Samba, and Jive within the Pre-Bronze syllabus. In addition to the steps and figures learned, the student will understand its origin, its concept, its differences with other styles, why it’s so popular, and competition opportunities. Students will be exposed to the fundamentals of music, technique and partnering in the International Latin Style of Ballroom Dancesport. Students will learn how ChaCha, Samba, Rumba and Jive music is built, how to count the timings relevant to the Pre-Bronze steps and how to find the 1 within the music. Students will develop an understanding of the core technical aspects for each of the four dances covered in the course, as well as dance frame, hand holds and how to move and work as a couple. The goal is to introduce these steps and ensure students can practice it comfortably, with or without a partner, and be able to compete at this level if a student decides to do so.
