Motion Arts Center
217 S Claremont St,
San Mateo, CA 94401Pre-Intermediate Level Class: You’ve learned the fundamentals, you can lead or follow the basic turns, and you’ve had a taste of the social dance floor. What’s next? If you’re not quite ready for the speed and complexity of our Intermediate class, our Pre-Intermediate level is your perfect next step! This class is dedicated to helping you transition smoothly from a beginner to an intermediate dancer. We will review and polish the essential techniques while introducing new concepts that will build your vocabulary and confidence. The focus here is on connection, combinations, and control.
*Pre-requisite: Completion of our Bachata Beginner Level class consistently for a period of 6 months or a solid understanding of the basic step, right and left turns, cross body leads, basic partner connection, open to close position and right to right, left to left hand position. This is the perfect class to build confidence and flow.
Intermediate Level Class: This is the right class if you have been taking consistently our Pre-Intermediate Level Class for a period of at least 1 year (this will depend on your pace of learning) or by the teachers recommendation. In this class you will learn more intricate patterns, turns, arm styling, body isolations and musicality, all while building the confidence and vocabulary you need to feel even better dancing on the social floor!
