Spring Freestyles 2010

First and foremost, a freestyle competition is FUN! It is a friendly and exciting weekend of social ballroom dancing and interaction. Students may enter Freestyles or come and share their school spirit as spectators. Everyone, from new students to advance students, may enter. Students dance with their teacher; couples may dance together and/or with their teachers if they choose. Freestyles are divided into categories by the different levels of dance experience and age of participants. The levels are: Newcomers, Associate Bronze, Full Bronze, Associate Silver, Full Silver and Gold.
