Intermediate Foundations

The number of intermediate moves is almost endless but we have a set of standard intermediate moves you'll come across or variations on these standards.

This is one of our Foundation Workshops and is ideal for experienced beginners, intermediates or anyone wishing to develop their secondary dance role. More experienced dancers are sometimes unaware they are still missing some core skills.

This intensive session is especially useful if you find that the jump from beginners to intermediate is very daunting - knowing these moves will help ease the transition.

Date Sunday, 5 May 2024
Time 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Where Papanui High School (map below)
Duration 3 hours

Please aim to arrive in good time to warm up and get ready. Attendance at the Workshop gives you free entry to a Tea Dance if one is held afterwards.
