Teaching Style:- I have a positive approach to teaching.  I like to praise and encourage.  This class will be active with me explaining and demonstrating as well as keeping an eye on all students in the class to see if they require help...

Students will gain an introduction to the Paso Doble learning some basic technique steps within a fun solo Paso Doble Dance Routine.  It will also be good exercise and fun!

I have been teaching dance for over 25 years.  I am a qualified professional dance teacher with the NCDTA (Northern Counties Dance Teachers Association, UK) and the IDTA (International Dance Teachers Association). I have taught all ages of Ballroom from young to adult.  I am currently the Children's Program Director of a Dance Studio in the USA.  

I competed in Ballroom all over the U.K. until I turned Professional to pursue a teaching career during which time I have trained many Ballroom competitors successfully winning events around the U.K.  I also taught the Ballroom and Latin American Society at Durham University teaching hundreds of students every week for many years before moving to the USA.  I am also a fan of 'Dancing With The Stars' and followed the UK version 'Strictly Come Dancing'; even appearing on the BBC show in some fun features!

Prop required:- A tea-towel/small piece of material that can be used to hold as a small cape.  It will be held during the dance and not worn.  This can be mimed but will be more fun to have something to use as a prop.

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Parental Guidance:- 
Please ensure children have enough space to move around and remove anything they may bump into or knock down (e.g. your expensive vase!)  

Class Attire:- Please wear appropriate free-moving clothes e.g. tee-shirt with leggings.  Leotard/skirt.  Footwear:- Ballroom shoes (if you already have some).  Otherwise any dance shoes (ballet/jazz) or bare feet depending on the surface of your home floor.  Avoid socks unless on carpet due to the risk of slipping.  

Prop required:- A tea-towel/small piece of material that can be used to hold as a cape.  It does not need to be big as it will be held during the dance and not worn.

Fitness:- Your child should be in a fit and healthy state.  Please check with your doctor if you have any concerns.

Technical Requirements:-  Please check that your Zoom App is updated as this can cause issues with the sound quality in class.  You can find more information here:- https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/579892-technical-requirements-and-browser-support
