Programs

	Introductory Program The introductory program offered at Arthur Murray Swansea is a foundation course working on three main teaching points. Our goal in the introductory program is to form a partnership using leading and following techniques that will get you moving across the dance floor together with ease. At this level, you will learn the basic steps and a few variations of the 5 most popular social dances: Swing, Rumba, Cha Cha, Foxtrot, and Waltz.
	General Variety Program Our General Variety program continues where the Introductory program left off. At this level, you will be shown more variations in each dance learned on your first program, while also being introduced to the other dances we have available at our studio. Instructors at this level also begin teaching technique and styling.
	Classes for Same Sex Couples Private and group classes are available for same sex couples on Saturdays. Call for an appointment: (508) 679-0071


Associate Bronze Program	This is the program for the impatient dancer. It will develop free movement around the floor, much more variety, a little technique, footwork, and your first introduction to styling to make your partner comfortable, and give you more assurance that you look good on the floor. This ten dance program is very popular with the person that wants to get on the floor this Friday night.

Full Bronze Program	Bronze is the full Social Standard. It will develop timing and technique in all nine Social Dances. The styling will make you look nice and comfortable while on the floor. It will strengthen your lead and following to the point that no matter who your partner is, you will look poised and very good in ten steps plus variations in each of the dances. It will give you all the confidence you will ever need on the dance floor. Dancing at this level will be yours to keep as you will never forget the elements of each dance. It is the fun point in dancing when you don't have to think about anything but enjoying your partner and having fun yourself. Congratulations you are now a full-fledged dancer!

Silver Program	Silver is a dance standard with a high degree of styling. Flashy moves make this standard stand out on the dance floor. Continuity of movement makes a couple glide around the dance floor, with many changes in direction. Styling makes this standard develop an individual character - some people become Smooth Dancers while others become Latin Dancers. Technique is very important to develop continuity of movement. This standard is the beginning of the showy and flashy dancing to be used mainly on the ballroom floor. A Silver dancer is definitely noticed on a crowded floor.

Gold Program	Our Gold Standard is for the Stars! Strictly a standard for the hobby dancer or the person who wants to do exhibitions. Its intricate patterns are only to be used when both people really know what they are doing. Choreography, styling, technique and showmanship are necessities in this standard. This cannot be used on a crowded dance floor. The smoothness and control make this a beautiful standard to sit and watch. You had better be prepared to work, if this is your standard, but you will truly be regarded as an outstanding dancer able to excel in any dance there is.
