Programs

Five Star Dance offers six programs from beginner to advanced. Regardless of where you may be in your developement, we've got something for you!

Introductory Program

Our Introductory Program is designed as a prelude to the popular social dances and the teaching methods of Five Star Dance Studios. It’s designed to fulfill your immediate dance needs while allowing your instructor an opportunity to evaluate your dancing with respect to your future learning.

General Variety Program

The General Variety Program develops the most important dances you plan to use immediately at a basic level. You will become comfortable with two or three different patterns in each dance, which is enough to get up on the social dance floor and feel at ease. Many of our students find the General Variety level to be totally adequate for meeting social obligations or as a fun way to get started in their dancing. Emphasis is placed on three important elements of dancing: foot position, rhythm/timing, and leading/following. We are sure to include enough variety to keep your learning experience interesting.

Associate Bronze

The associate Bronze Program will help you acquire freer movement around the floor while expanding your variety, technique, and footwork. Associate Bronze dancers also begin to develop portrayal of dance’s characteristics in the form of styling. This dance program is very popular with those wanting to get on the dance floor quickly.

Full Bronze Program

Full Bronze is the complete Social Dance program taught by Five Star Dance Studios. It’s designed to develop timing and techniques in all Social Dances you select. The styling will make you look and feel comfortable on the dance floor and strengthen your lead and following, regardless of your partner, the music being played, or the type of dance floor. Bronze dancers have all the confidence anyone would need on the floor because they have reached the “fun point” in dancing. Dancing techniques at this level will be yours to keep, as you’ll never forget the elements of each dance.

Silver Program

Silver is the dance standard with a high degree of styling. More elaborate movements ensure the Silver dancer will stand out on any dance floor. Continuity of movements makes a couple glide across the dance floor with many natural directional changes. Styling, technique, balance, and control take on an entirely new meaning. This is the beginning of the more professional standard used mainly on the ballroom floor.

Gold Program

Our Gold standard, known as the “Dancing with the Stars” program, is strictly for the hobby dancer interested in performances, exhibitions, or competitions. Its intricate patterns are only to be used when both partners are proficient. Choreography, styling, technique, and showmanship are necessities in this standard. This material is generally not used on a crowded floor. There is a lot of work involved in this program, but you will truly be regarded as an outstanding dancer, able to excel in any dance.
