School
of Ballroom Dance
Purpose
I am teaching international
ballroom dancing. It is an activity for healthy
people. People with heart problems, back problems or
any other health problems that require monitoring of
blood pressure or physical stress are advised to
consult their physicians and carefully consider before
joining the group. Introductory, intermediate and
advanced classes are available. The number of people
in each class is limited for quality purposes. While I
do not require coming with a partner, it is strongly
recommended to have one. If you come as a single
person, please keep in mind that there is no guarantee
that you will find a partner when the class starts. Please check this page to find a partner or submit an announcement that you are looking for a partner.
How to
Dress
You can dress as you wish but
please remember that I have to see the lines of your
body. It means no long skirts, baggy shirts or baggy
trousers, etc. I strongly advise you not to wear
rings, wristwatches, bracelets or necklaces. Dress
very lightly and in such a way that you are
comfortable practically in any position. I recommend
men to have very light trousers and a light shirt or a
T-shirt. Women are advised to wear a leotard and a
very short skirt. The most important part is your
shoes. I expect you to have two pairs of shoes: one
pair of tennis shoes or similar with a rubber sole and
heel that does not mark the floor for warm-up and one
pair of shoes with a leather heel and leather sole for
dancing.
If You Are
New
Please call me in advance at
970-266-8249 to learn more about our classes and find out
if there are openings available. Please be aware that I will not return long distance calls.
Beginner's
Course
It is a review course (6
sessions, 1.5 hours each). The course introduces you
to different dance styles and gives you an opportunity
to experience my teaching approach. You will learn
simple elements of dance gymnastics and basics of
European, Latin American and disco styles. Among
others you will learn Rhythm Dancing, Rock'n'Roll,
Merengue and sequences of Disco Dancing.
Intermediate
Courses
There are two intermediate courses. Each course consists of 6
sessions, 1.5 hours each. The courses give you more
knowledge of the international program. Intermediate Course 1
includes Waltz, Cha-Cha-Cha, Samba,
Triple-Jive, and Charleston. Intermediate Course 2 covers Tango, Quickstep, Foxtrot and Rumba.
Cost of Beginner's
or Intermediate Courses
The price for the beginner's or
intermediate course is $120 per person charged before
the start of the course. You can pay with a check or
cash. Please make checks payable to Andre's
Ballroom Dance, LLC.
Please mail your check to

Then I can let you know that I received the check and inform you about any possible changes.
You can also give me the check

Please note that while you are
welcome to come to the start of the course and pay
then, there is no guarantee that there will be an
opening available for you at that moment.
Advanced
Classes
After completing the
intermediate courses, you will have an opportunity to
continue with the advanced classes. I cover the whole
international program with exception of Paso Doble:
Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, Quickstep,
Rumba, Samba, Cha-Cha-Cha and Jive. Each class lasts
1.5 hours and costs $20 per person. I charge for a
month in advance. If you cannot be in the next class,
I would very much appreciate if you let me know. In
this way I can plan better for you and the others. If
you want to quit, please let me know before the next
month begins. I will not refund your money that has
been already paid.
