The Ballroom Syllabus Program


For dancers who wish to improve their styling and dancing proficiency.

Pre-Bronze, Bronze, Silver, Gold & Gold Star classes taught to ISTD Standard.

 

The Pre-Bronze Program

The Pre-Bronze Program is geared towards acquiring freer movement around the dance floor while expanding variety, technique and footwork. Pre-Bronze dancers also begin to develop unique dance characteristics in the form of styling. This dance program is very popular with those wanting to get on the dance floor quickly.

The Full Bronze Program

The Full Bronze Program is designed for the couple who is ready to expand upon the basics of International Style Ballroom Dance.  By this time, you should feel comfortable dancing with your partner.  In this program, you will develop timing, posture, and a higher level of proficiency in lead and follow techniques.  Routines that will have you flowing around the dance floor will also be learned.  The Bronze Program is a favorite to all and is a great confidence builder!

The Silver Program

The Silver Program will begin working with continuity style dance.  Continuity of movements is what makes a couple glide across the dance floor with many natural directional changes.  In this program, focus will be placed on styling, technique, balance and control.  At this point, students should have an understanding of proper footwork and posture to maneuver around the floor comfortably with their partner.

The Gold Program

The Gold Program is for the highly dedicated couple who wishes to excel at Ballroom dancing.  Choreography, styling, technique, poise and showmanship are refined in this standard.  Gold Dancers have the confidence that comes with a complete and thorough knowledge of all International Style Ballroom dances.  There is a lot of work involved in this program, but you will truly be regarded as an outstanding dancer.

Getting started is easy.  The first step is to schedule an introductory lesson with one of our trained instructors. During that lesson, your instructor will determine your current level and recommend an appropriate course for you to continue. To set up your introductory lesson now, call us at 610-363-8679, or e-mail us at info@dancebluemoon.com.   

   


 

Private Lessons

 

For the majority of people who are first introduced to ballroom dancing, we recommend they start in our beginner class and progress at a comfortable pace through our group classes. However, there are many advantages to learning through private lessons. First and foremost, one-on-one instruction is the fastest way to improve your dancing. Private lessons are taught at all levels from beginner to competitor and can be scheduled at your convenience, Monday through Saturday.

 

 

Advantages of Private Lessons

  • The convenience of booking lessons that fit your schedule.

  • The complete attention of an instructor for the entire lesson.

  • To learn dance technique and variations not in the regular group class curriculum.

  • To learn as fast as you can handle or as slow as you feel comfortable.

  • A curriculum designed by your instructor to suit your ability and wishes.

 


 


Customer Testimonials

 

    "Martin's teaching style is sincere, fun and filled with excellent dance instruction.  He has obviously spent many years training, competing, and teaching -- and it shows as he thoughtfully works with his students to show them not only how to dance ballroom, but how dancing can be a life-long form of entertainment and enjoyment.  He and his instructors provide honest ballroom dance education.  We highly recommend Blue Moon Dancesport to anyone who wants to learn to dance well."     

 - L & D Nichols

 

    "Martin teaches the elegant style of ballroom dancing similar to what is featured on Dancing with the Stars.  He is a highly skilled ballroom dancer with a teaching style that quickly puts his students at ease to help them remember what they have learned from week to week.  Unlike some of the places we've gone to that just demonstrate generic dance steps for drop-in folks, Martin's ballroom lessons are quality instruction.  He also has a wonderful community of dancers that come to his studio, so we are definitely planning to continue at Blue Moon for a long time to come. It's been great for us."         

- N & S Feldman  

 

    "We really enjoyed the beginner ballroom classes.  Martin is a good teacher, easy to follow and very patient..."

- S & C Cruit

 

     "We chose Martin and Blue Moon Dancesport because we wanted authenticity and the best!  Martin is wonderful, his instruction is clear, his easy way of being creates a fun learning experience.  We absolutely love the location of the studio and plan on continuing on to other programs.  Ballroom dancing (we are learning) is more than just the moves.  It's also about the energy and flow of the dance partners and we are enjoying the process very much.  Thanks!"

- C & R Trotter

 

     "My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed our ballroom dance lessons with Martin at Blue Moon Dancesport!  Martin is wonderful, knowledgeable, patient, and a funny teacher and we're so glad that our next door neighbors told us about him and Blue Moon Dancesport!  The studio is very nice and has a great big dance floor.  The location is ideal, as it's right off the 30 bypass in Exton - right next to Rino's Restaurant.  We look forward to attending the Saturday night dance parties so that we can practice what we've learned on Friday nights.  Our next door neighbors attend the Saturday Night Dance Parties on a regular basis and rave about how fun they are.  We also definitely plan to take the next level of dance lessons after we complete our beginner session.  We highly recommend Blue Moon Dancesport!"


- T & J Liberi

 

 

     "We have been taking dance lessons with Martin for 10 years.  It has been a lot of fun and also good exercise!  We hope we are able to continue with Martin for at least another 10 years longer.  The people that attend the lessons and the dance parties are great to meet and get to know.  Blue Moon has been the source of many good times and friendships.  We feel that Martin and Blue Moon are the best by far!"


- S & D Siegal
