International Latin Silver & Gold Jive Syllabus is an advanced instructional program presented by renowned Latin dance educator Corky Ballas, assisted by Olga Rodionova. Covering both Silver and Gold levels of the International Latin Jive syllabus, this program provides a structured progression from intermediate syllabus figures into more demanding advanced combinations, spins, swivels, kicks and characteristic Jive actions.
The Silver Level develops the dancer’s vocabulary with figures such as the Reverse Whip, Windmill, Spanish Arms, Rolling Off the Arm, Simple Spin, Miami Special and Overturned Fallaway Throwaway. These figures expand upon Bronze fundamentals while introducing more challenging changes of direction, rotation, partnering and rhythmic coordination.
The Gold Level moves into advanced Jive material including Point Ball Change, Curly Whip, Shoulder Spin, Toe Heel Swivels, Chugging, Chicken Walks, Catapult, Stalking Walks with Flicks and Break, and the Overturned Change of Places Left to Right. The program also includes a Whip Amalgamation, demonstrating how syllabus figures can be connected into a continuous sequence.
Dedicated demonstrations of the Silver and Gold sections, followed by a complete dance demonstration, help dancers see the figures performed in context. This makes the program particularly useful for Silver and Gold students, dance teachers, medal-test candidates, competitive dancers and instructors looking for a detailed International Latin Jive syllabus reference.
