PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BELOW OR WATCH THE VIDEO AT THE BOTTOM.
The complete Newcomers / Beginners program, which spans a period of one year, no matter in which term the dancer starts class, consists of 4 parts for the 4 terms: Newcomers Part 1 and 2 for term 1 and 2, as well as, Bronze Prelim Parts 1 and 2, taught in terms 3 and 4. Our dancers are required to complete each part before gaining access to the next part. This is the same as comparing progress with school: you must complete Grade 1 before you can go to Grade 2.
Keep in mind that our activity is a royal activity and oversees institutions charge $125 (around R2,250) for one half-hour (30 minutes) Skype or Zoom online lesson. Video-lessons are anything from $15 – $45 for a 3 – 5 minute online video-lesson.
You will only be allowed to register for our online lessons if you have already enrolled at our dance club, in other words, you are a member of our dance club, and attend our physical classes. To start viewing your online lessons, click on the black, “BECOME PART OF OUR CLUB HERE” box at the bottom, and you will be directed to the membership level page: select “NEW COMERS / BEGINNERS PART 1” or after activating the translation to Afrikaans: “Nuwelinge / Beginners Deel 1” level.
The duration of each termly online course is 90 days, in collaboration and in accordance with that term’s physical classes, presented at our dance venue. Members will only be allowed to view and use our online lessons from the middle of each term on, as the dancer’s membership has to be manually activated by our admin for a higher level.
Each online course contains 10 weeks of lessons, even if the physical classes do not arrive at the completion of that 10-week syllabus as it was supposed to be. The overdue or incomplete lessons will then be carried over to the next term in the physical classes even if the student has already done the online lesson or lessons.
We provide you with the best instruction, which many people have already attested to and others still endorse, for the lowest fees to enable as many people as possible to make use of this fantastic opportunity, in becoming socially and dance skilled by way of learning social couples-dance very well and correctly.
Members have access to our syllabus & also get free access to all our line & group dances that you can use at your own private dance functions as well as at public dance functions.
A certificate of completion is available for download after conclusion of each dance level. This is not a diploma that proves a dance level and that has been passed with a pass rate. It’s just proof that a dance level has been completed. Dance Level Examples: Bronze Newcomers Part 2, Bronze Prelim Part 2. Bronze 1st Level Intermediate Part 4, Bronze Middle Level Intermediate Part 4, etc.
