American Rhythm Syllabus – Bronze Samba

Product Description

Basic Bounce is the starting point for this Bronze American Rhythm Samba programme. Forward and Back Basic, Side Basic, Fifth Position Breaks identified as Whisks, and Box complete the opening group. Donald Johnson and Kasia Kozak then provide a demonstration of those five figures before continuing to the next collection.

Extended Box and Samba Walks introduce the middle section. Forward and Back Spiral is identified with Bota Fogos, followed by Reverse Samba Walks and Promenade and Counter Promenade Bota Fogos. The positional distinction in the last figure gives customers a specific reason to revisit that part of the programme. A second group demonstration supports review of the walking and bota-fogo material.

Opening Out Left and Right, Rolling Box and Voltas Left and Right lead the final section, followed by Open Break to Back Spot Turn and Advanced Left Turn. Their demonstration closes the syllabus. The approximately 168-minute collection gives beginning-to-intermediate students a substantial selection beyond a brief introduction to bounce. Teachers can focus on a box, walking action, directional variation or turn, using the grouped structure to keep repertoire study manageable alongside regular coaching.
