Fun social dance classes
Intermediate Foundations

Sunday, 3 December 2023

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.

The benefit of a workshop like this is the intensive session for working on favourite and commonly used intermediate moves with two teachers. This is especially useful if you find that the jump from beginners to intermediate is very daunting. Knowing these moves will help ease the transition.

Intermediate Foundations is one of our Foundation Workshops.

Workshops are a great way to improve your dancing in a short space of time and help you master the basics as well as challenge you with more advanced material.

Time: 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Where: Avonhead 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 Sunday Social if one is held afterwards.

Workshop Content

9 foundation intermediate moves covered by 2 instructors to teach both lead and follow roles:

  • Basket Hip Catch, Backhander, Travelling Ochos

Who Is This For?

Points to bear in mind:
