Below you will find out a schedule of classes for
the weekend. At this year's AVS we are requiring
participants to sign up for a track (Beginner=
Freshman, Intermediate= Upperclass, or Graduate=Advanced).
The reason we do this is so you be set on a
specific progressive track of clases. If you
fel feel you signed up for a track innapropriate
for your level you can always talk with one
of the organizers and request to be moved up/down.
Do not cheat yourself (or others in the class)
by trng to take advanced classes when you know
you are not. Ou r instructors will quicly point
you to the appropriate level if they do not
think you should be there.
Here is the criteria for each track:
FRESHMAN: This series of classes are
geared for the dancer with 6 months or less
of dance experience. You have either just started
swing dancing, or you have been introduced to
it for a long time but you feel you have a lot
of improvement on your basics. There are no
pre-requisites to sign up for this track. Theses
classes will try to accomodate you to learn
the swing basics in both 6-count and 8-count
patterns. (These are the 100 Swing Level classes)
UPPERCLASS: If you decide to sign up
for this level you must have prior 8-cout
swing experience. The average student at
these classes will have anywhere between 6 months
to a over a year of social dance experience.
. More than likely this dancer will have taken
a few classes and goes dancing regularly. If
you sign up for this track you should be able
to dance at a variety of tempos with different
partners.
GRADUATE: This class is reserved for
those with an extensive swing dancing background
and experience. It will have a number of years
of dance experience and probably has taken more
classes and workshops than one owuld want to
remember.
There is a series of electives everyone can
attend to. The specific pre-requisites are listed
in the class descriptions.
