At the end of the course you will have sufficient technical knowledge of each of the figures in the syllabus and will be able to dance them, give a brief description and know their timing. You will be given teaching points for each figure, have an awareness of precedes and follows and how to link them into simple routines. You will also be given an additional option at the end of the course to have ongoing support with setting up classes and teaching Latin American.
