Waltz A, B, C, D:  Which is the proper class level for you?
This of course depends foremost on your existing dance experience and we can often determine on the first night what your level is. In general, the higher the class, the more moves we will teach, and the more series are typically needed to master all material and skills. Hence one might attend one A series, followed by two B, three C, and four D series, e.g. A, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, D1, D2, D3, D4, with all of them teaching different material, to become quite advanced over several months. These are skills for life you will never loose. Nevertheless, you can feel comfortable on a social dance floor with a single A series under your belt, .. but might find you want to learn more skills and fun variations in higher level classes.
