Ponctuality
Mandatory level
For advanced folk dancers, and gifted intermediate folk dancers who learn quickly.
You should be able to master the basic waltz steps with ease, be familiar with leading and/or following, and preferably be open to changing roles.
We assume that you needed at least two years of dance experience, with regular classes and workshops, to achieve this level. Some of this experience may have been gained in other couple dances (tango, salsa, forró, ...).
No previous tango experience is required, as for the tango classes we will foresee a beginner and an intermediate group, if necessary.
There will be a free refresher course on Saturday 4 February from 2 to 4pm, aimed at less experienced but fast learners. Also highly recommended for those who have never taken a course with Koen or Laure.
Dance partner
It is not necessary to register as a couple for this dance workshops. We will often change partners. Therefore, you can register alone, as a couple, with friends ...
