Advance your American Smooth Waltz with this complete Gold syllabus presented by Michael Mead & Toni Redpath. Building on the Bronze and Silver foundations, this program introduces more challenging figures that expand movement possibilities while maintaining the elegance and continuity that characterize American Smooth.
The lessons are organized around advanced Gold syllabus figures that combine rotations, shadow work, shaping, pivots, and open choreography. Each figure is demonstrated and explained before being incorporated into complete demonstration routines, allowing dancers to understand how individual elements connect naturally within longer dance sequences.
Throughout the program, the instructors emphasize movement quality, balance, partner coordination, and smooth transitions between figures. The choreography encourages dancers to develop greater body control and freedom of expression while maintaining the technical precision expected at the Gold syllabus level.
With more than two hours of instruction, this video serves as an excellent reference for dancers preparing for Gold medal examinations, advanced social dancing, teaching, or competition.
