On Thursdays, February 6, 20, and 27, 2014, Paolo & Liene Di Lorenzo — the reigning 2013 United States National Professional Classic Show Dance Champions and one of the Top Competitive Couples in the World(!) — will teach a one-hour class on preparing for dance competitions. The class is open to amateur couples or singles.
The class runs from 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM.
In the Competition class, 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.
Then they simulate a dance competition during the class. 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.
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.
Each student couple (or single) dances their own choreography during the simulated competition rounds.
This simulation of a competition is great practice — especially if you are considering or planning to enter a dance competition!
