Lynn & I enjoy working together to create dances with choreography that fits the pulse of the music. We have 25 + dances to our credit.
We've been awarded several Round Of the Quarter (ROQ) & Round Of the Month (ROM) Certificates for our choreography. On the Cue Sheet pages, the awards are in red.
The Cue Sheets and cued samples of our dances are downloadable from the "Cues Sheets" pages.
NOTE: The cued samples are not the complete dance. If you would like a complete cued version of a dance, please contact us .
What Is Round Dancing?
Round Dancing is pre-choreographed ballroom dancing. Each dance is written to a particular piece of music. Dancers move in a circular pattern around the floor (thus the name Round Dancing). As the music plays, the cuer announces the next dance figure approx 1/2 measure before the dancers execute that figure.
Dances are categorized as Easy, Intermediate and Advanced. Phase 2 are Easy dances. Phase 3&4 are Intermediate. Phase 5&6 are Advanced.
Lynn & I teach phase 2 through phase 5 Waltz, Foxtrot, Slow Two Step, Jive, Cha-Cha, Rumba and other Rhythms.
