Develop a solid foundation in American Smooth Waltz with this complete Bronze syllabus presented by Michael Mead & Toni Redpath. Designed for beginning and Bronze-level dancers, the program combines technical fundamentals with a structured progression through the official syllabus figures.
The lessons begin with the essential principles of posture, movement, frame, and dance hold before introducing the core Bronze figures in a logical sequence. As the syllabus progresses, dancers learn how individual patterns connect naturally, building confidence in movement, partner coordination, and floorcraft.
In addition to detailed figure instruction, the program includes demonstration routines that show how the syllabus figures are combined into complete dance sequences. Bonus figures and an Open Bronze freestyle demonstration provide additional ideas for developing musicality, transitions, and social or competitive dancing.
With more than two hours of instruction, this video serves as a practical learning resource for students while also providing instructors with a structured reference for teaching the American Smooth Bronze Waltz syllabus.
