Guide

Beginners

You have no experience or are not yet confident with basic steps, leading or following.

Intermediate

Men: You have a good repertoire of turn patterns with the capacity to move easily from one pattern to the next. You will also be able to execute hand changes & directional changes with better balance and more styling whilst keeping in time to the music.

Women: You should be able to follow complex turn patterns comfortably and have the ability to demonstrate some interpretive footwork and body styling. You should also be tackling double spins with increasing confidence with a view to perfecting your technique.

Advanced

Men: You have the capacity to remember & skilfully lead a series of complex moves with continuity & styling. You understand the origins of the music and can tune in easily to the underlying clave or percussive beat and their respective timings.

Women: Multiple turns, spins and intricate following are no problem for you. You move like a Bachata Diva! Intricate footwork is challenging, but fun for you. It will not frustrate you or give you a brain meltdown. You are also a seasoned dancer who understands the value of simplicity.
