American Rhythm Syllabus Bronze Cha Cha – Donald Johnson

American Rhythm Syllabus – Bronze Cha Cha is a comprehensive instructional video presented by Donald Johnson and Kasia Kozak, covering the complete Bronze American Rhythm Cha Cha syllabus. Designed for beginning and intermediate dancers, the course provides a structured progression through the official Bronze figures while developing the essential techniques required for confident social dancing, examinations, and competition.

Each figure is introduced individually with detailed instruction before being incorporated into demonstration sequences that illustrate how the patterns flow together in practical dancing. Throughout the course, the instructors emphasize timing, footwork, lead and follow, body action, alignment, and smooth transitions, helping students build a strong technical foundation while improving musicality and partner communication.

With approximately three hours of instruction, this video serves as an excellent study resource for dancers working through the American Rhythm syllabus or instructors seeking a clear reference for Bronze-level Cha Cha figures.
