International Amateur Competition Training!

- Are you already competing and want to take it up a level?

find a partner and to compete.

Classes
|
|
IACT! is an ongoing program that may be joined at anytime.
International Standard Class (taught by IACT! Director,
Linda Gammon) is held on Saturdays from 3:00 - 4:00pm
and International Latin Class (taught by Martina Kocichova)
is held on Thursdays from 8:30 - 9:30pm.
If you are seeking a partner, this program provides
an excellent arena for finding a suitable partner while
learning an appropriate, choreographed piece that will
be used in Competition.
Students will be drilled in basic and advanced routines.
They will be critiqued in all aspects of dance including
characterization and technique. If, after three months,
a partnership has not been formed or an agreement
to enter competitions has not been reached; the individual
or couple may be asked to withdraw from IACT!
**Taught within the confines of the prescribed
syllabi of the ISTD and USABDA; and suitable for
use in competition.
