American Smooth – Bronze Routine Entrances is an instructional video presented by Jim & Jenell Maranto, focusing on entrance choreography for Bronze American Smooth routines. Instead of teaching a complete syllabus, this course demonstrates a variety of creative opening sequences that can be incorporated into showcases, competitions, studio performances, or exhibition routines.
The lessons are organized by dance, with dedicated entrance ideas for Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, and Viennese Waltz. Each sequence combines familiar Bronze-level figures with transitions, shadow positions, spins, shaping, and presentation elements that help dancers begin a routine with confidence and visual impact. The material is suitable for teachers creating choreography as well as couples looking for practical entrance ideas that flow naturally into the rest of their routine.
With approximately 100 minutes of instruction, this video provides a valuable collection of entrance concepts that can be adapted to different choreography styles while maintaining the character of each American Smooth dance.
