Making it fun to learn
Dancing should be fun, and it should be great fun to learn. George and Wendy Pytlik, the teachers of these Delta-based introductory ballroom dance group classes, provide a fresh and enjoyable environment that makes learning a time of laughter and lightness.
The Delta Dance Level 1 ballroom dance program is a 12-week series covering seven different dances. The program repeats all year. You can join any time as long as it’s week 1 of a new dance, so you don’t have to wait until the 12 weeks are over!
Who is it for?
This program is perfect if you’ve never danced before, if you’ve danced but never had formal training, or even if you’re an experienced dancer but it’s been many years and you need a refresher.
Most participants repeat the program until they’re comfortable with the steps. Then, if you wish, you can move up to the Intermediate program. No pressure! Many people are satisfied with the basic steps, while others like to take it further.
Dance classes shouldnât be filled with pressure to perform. Thereâs enough pressure in life! Dance classes should let you get away from all that pressure and just relax with someone special.
What you’ll learn
The course gives you a total of seven dances from two genres. They include:
- Cha Cha
- Foxtrot
- Salsa
- Tango
- Jive
- Rumba
- Waltz
You’ll learn enough basic ballroom dance steps to feel comfortable on any dance floor, especially if you practice what you learn in between the weekly sessions.
Where and When
the Level 1 program is now available at 2 locations, one on the border of North Delta and Surrey, and the other in Tsawwassen. We are just setting up the Tsawwassen program so the details may not yet be on the website.
