Instructor: Mica Milojkovic

Quickstep shares a common origin with the ever-popular Foxtrot. In the 1920's the foxtrot rhythm began to change as bands played various tempos of it. Eventually, the faster tempo evolved into Quickstep while the slower tempo remained the Foxtrot as we know it. Today's quickstep music has a carefree and bright feel. The dance is quick and lively, and once the basics are mastered, it can include embellishments such as hops, skips, and kicks. As an International Style Standard dance, it has an elegant look and feel.

American Style Syllabus group classes are offered weekly at Beginner Bronze, Intermediate Bronze, and High Bronze levels in Waltz, Foxtrot, Cha Cha, Rumba and Swing. Classes are held evenings for 45 minutes. No partner is required and pre-registration is not necessary. Beginner (Bronze) classes are held on Wednesdays and are separated into three classes; the first class is at 6:00 pm, the second at 6:45 pm, and the third at 7:30 pm. For the student who is new to ballroom dancing any 6:00 pm bronze “class 1” class is a good place to start. Two Intermediate Bronze classes are held on Thursday nights; the first at 7:15 pm and the second at 8:00 pm. High Bronze classes are held on Sundays at 5:00 pm. Three intermediate/advanced classes are held on Friday nights: the Silver Smooth and Rhythm class at 6:45 pm, the Social Combinations class at 7:30 pm, which focuses on leadable, usable patterns derived from familiar elements, and the Members' Choice classes at 8:15 pm, which provides an opportunity for the student to relearn or refine mid to high level Silver figures. If you are unsure of your dance level email Karen to set up a free consult and mini-lesson. Karen will help you determine which classes will suit you perfectly. Classes are rolling semesters so there is no waiting to get started. Happy dancing!
