Plan of study: International Standard (Slow Waltz, Tango, Slow Foxtrot, Venice Waltz and Quickstep) and International Latin (Samba, Cha-cha-cha, Rumba, Pasodoble and Jive) dances.

The group class starts from learning both ballroom dance programs: International Standard (Samba, Cha-cha-cha, jive) and International Standard (Slow Waltz, Tango, Quickstep).

The program is preparing children to participate in their first competition and in possible show performances.

It is not necessary to have a partner as children most of the time will learn and work on steps and elements separately. Depending on the progress the teacher may create couples and then training process will start in a new direction of a couple dancing for children.

Each class is divided into several parts where a necessary block of movements is worked through. Usually, each block is 15-30 minutes depending on the group of muscles of the body, complexity of movements and also the intensity of work.
