Our Level 2 Classes dive into the specifics of the most common movement patterns in Modern Country Swing, supplemented with workshops designed to develop understanding and skill in various topics in the dance.
The Classes are divided into 3 units each focusing on a specific topic at a Beginner Level: Connection and Timing, Quality of Movement, and Musicality.
Classes focusing on movent patterns have a class code 2.xxM, while workshops have a class code 2.xxW.
There is a 4th Special Unit that introduces multiple Newcomer/Novice Competition elements.
