ShareInternational Amateur Competition Training!
- Are you already competing and want to take it up a level?
- Are you looking for a partner to compete with?
- Do you want to learn the secrets of competing?
IACT! was formed to encourage and strengthen the amateur competitive movement. Simply put, our goal is to help you find a partner and to compete.
Prerequisites
All IACT! students must have basic International Style experience and must be approved by the teaching staff prior to enrollment.
Classes
IACT! is an ongoing program that may be joined at anytime.
International Standard Class (taught by IACT! Director, Linda Gammon) is held on Saturdays from 3:00 - 4:00pm and International Latin Class (taught by Martina Kocichova) is held on Thursdays from 8:30 - 9:30pm.
If you are seeking a partner, this program provides an excellent arena for finding a suitable partner while learning an appropriate, choreographed piece that will be used in Competition.
Students will be drilled in basic and advanced routines. They will be critiqued in all aspects of dance including characterization and technique. If, after three months, a partnership has not been formed or an agreement to enter competitions has not been reached; the individual or couple may be asked to withdraw from IACT!
**Taught within the confines of the prescribed syllabi of the ISTD and USABDA; and suitable for use in competition.
