PRACTICE STRUCTURE

Practices are optional, but they are a great way to review steps and meet club members in a smaller setting, so we encourage everyone to check them out! We will have a board member at every team practice to answer your questions, whether they be about dancing, Columbia, or life in general. During weekly practice times, we offer several practice programs:

• Weekly newcomer workshops: an advanced dancer will review the figures learned from that week’s newcomer classes, introduce some basic technique, and answer any questions. 

• Rounds: a competition simulation, where each of the five Standard and Latin dances are done continuously to mimic a final round in a comp. There are a great way to prepare for competitions or see where you stand, and help build up endurance! 

Other than these, practices are largely unstructured, with music and speakers provided.

Lastly, we will have unsupervised practice space on certain Wednesdays with no music or speakers. This space will not always be available for open use, as we will sometimes be holding workshops on Wednesdays! If you are interested in using this space, email us and we will forward you the relevant DFC protocol.
