Charity Dance Friday, Dance Mechanics (new beginner friendly class Wednesday)

Hello everyone!

This is the week of our first Charity Dance at The Crystal Ballroom!  All proceeds from this dance go directly to those in financial need in our community.  David, Rhys, and I are volunteering our time to create this extra dance for you all in order to give back to the local dance community!  Let your dancing friends know that for a $20 donation they can dance from 7pm-9pm this Friday night (April 24th) at the studio!

You may wonder why we've started offering so many Medal Classes at the studio, and I'm so glad you asked, I love answering questions ;).

We started the Medal classes for a few reasons...

#1. Private Lesson students have requested from me in the past the opportunity to review movements they are learning to build muscle memory and practice with others.  This class creates that opportunity!

#2. I have been told that a clear structure and expectations are great to help many things stick and increase learning.  Medal classes are structured around the Dance Vision Syllabus and go predictably through the levels!

#3. Those who are not financially able to take private lessons can still progress in their dancing!  Especially if they take these classes twice.  The 2nd time really solidifies the information taught and gives you the practice needed!

#4. We want to continue the increase in quality of dancing in Columbus Ohio!

SOOOO, with that being said, after our next Round of Bronze Levels I-IV, we are beginning to offer Silver Levels I-II!!  I will tell you that the PreReq for Silver classes is to pass out of Bronze I-IV of that particular dance!  This can be achieved in private lessons, or through taking the level I-IV Group Classes.  If you already know the information you can take the tests for $30 per 10 minute session.

I'm so excited that starting in November we'll begin offering Silver Level Medal Classes!!!

COMING SOON!!

Dance Mechanics: Group Class with Spencer

7pm Wednesday!  This class will appeal especially to those who are mechanically minded or enjoy drills to improve their dancing!

Spencer developed this class idea with the understanding that everyone learns differently and the mechanics of dance will help your brain to understand as your body learns! Both brand new dancers and those with more technique and experience will enjoy this class!

Dance Forward: Community Benefit THIS Friday April 24th!!

7pm Dance Benefit (all proceeds will go to helping those in the dance community who have fallen on hard times)

David, Rhys, and I have been discussing how to best support those in our community, and have come to the conclusion that we will be starting a Non-Profit to raise funds that can be used to help those who have fallen on hard times, whether it is help with bills, or resources, as we are creating and getting the non-profit finalized we are holding a dance on Friday the 24th to begin making a difference for those who are struggling right now.

What you can do...

1. Mark your calendar to come dancing on the 24th with Dance Forward!

2. Donate any items that could make raffle baskets for this event or future events (movie night, self care, sports, etc)

3. Share any ideas you may have as we work out the parameters and processes for this nonprofit.

This week join us for group classes all week long, private lessons around your schedule, Friday's Charity Dance from 7-9, then Saturday evening's awesome weekly ballroom dance party, preceded by Tango Group Classes (in 2 levels)!  

Let's all connect through dance at The Crystal Ballroom Dance Center!
