On Thursdays Evenings, Paolo and Liene Di Lorenzo — the 2013 United States National Professional Classic Show Dance Champions, World Professional Ballroom Showdance Championship Finalists, and one of the Top Competitive Couples in the World(!) — will teach a one-hour class on preparing for dance competitions, including both Ballroom and Latin Rounds. The class is open to amateur couples or singles.
The class runs from 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM. Participating couples may warm up on the floor before the class.
Take this class and be ready to compete in the Spectacular 13th Annual USA Dance Royal Palm DanceSport Competition which will be held on January 30, 2016 at Goldcoast Ballroom!! It is one of the most highly regarded all-amateur dancesport competitions in Florida and in the United States. Learn more, and Sign Up Now for the Competition. First 10 couples to register before December 1 get an Extra Discount off the already-discounted Competitor Fees!!
In the Competition class on Thursday Evenings, Liene and Paolo teach pointers on how to improve your dancing and how to compete — including pointers and strategy on how to enter and leave the dance floor, take proper bows, negotiate floorcraft, and behave during a dance competition.
The class includes a simulated dance competition – including both Ballroom and Latin rounds. There is no better way to learn the floorcraft needed to win in dance competitions! The student couples dance “semi-final” and “final” competition rounds in the International Standard dances, alternating with rounds in the International Latin dances during the class.
Each student couple (or single) dances their own choreography during the simulated competition rounds.
Students can choose to participate in only the International Standard rounds, only the Latin rounds, or both. Each International Standard round includes all five of the International Standard dances – Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot and Quickstep. The Latin Rounds include the five International Latin Dances – Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble, and Jive.
This simulation of a competition is great practice — especially if you are considering or planning to enter a dance competition!
