​​​​​​Elite Latin Dance's Social Dance Syllabus was designed by our directors after years of teaching and experience.  It is a methodical syllabus with which if students follow, provides them a progressive & clear path to becoming a competent and confident social dancer.

​

We have structured our Syllabus so that Salsa & Bachata are taught together at the Beginner & Intermediate Level.  Therefore, our 100 & 200 Level courses are 1.5 hours long and consist of 45 minutes of Salsa & 45 minutes of Bachata.

 

We allow specialization at the Advanced Level and therefore run 55 minute classes of only one genre in our 300 level courses. 

  

Our syllabus is divided up by level and variation.  In order to complete each level, students must complete all the variation courses in said level.  However, students can complete the variations in any order.

​

Our Specialty Classes & Workshops are not necessary for those only interested in basic social dancing.  However, they are designed to be complimentary classes that provide a deeper dive into dance technique, spinning, conditioning and musical education.  They are recommended courses for any performance team members or for those dancers looking to further their dance & musical education.

​

Course Prerequisites

Beginner Level 100 Courses:

Prerequisite: None. Courses Designed for New Dancers - (No experience - 3 months of experience)

 

Intermediate Level 200 Courses:

Prerequisite: Completed all three 100 series courses - (3 - 6 months  of dance experience) Or Pass Assessment

​

Advanced Level Courses:

Prerequisite: Completed all the 200 series courses - (6 months + dance experience) Or Pass Assessment.

 

***Please note: Our estimated experience level for each course is based on taking consistent dance classes.  For Example: A student that takes one beginner course and then goes to socials only for 2 years should still only be in a pre-intermediate level course.  By contrast, a student that takes consistent group classes for 2 months should also be at the same level. 

​

Still not sure which class to take?  Message us and we can discuss your level and what class fits for you based on your individual experience and dance goals.

(Please note: If students enroll in a course without an assessment, instructors reserve the right to move you to the appropriate level based on their assessment.)

​

We will also be updating the page soon with an exhaustive list of patterns and shines and which courses specifically cover  said patterns & shines.  So if you are looking to learn a specific pattern or if you know you are missing certain key steps or figures, we can find the the correct course to place you in.
