Pre-Associate Latin American Course
A Pre-Associate course is the first step to studying Latin American dancing technique.
The skills and information acquired will improve your understanding of the fundamental principles of Latin American dancing and develop your ability to learn from a technique book.
Along with the training programme, you will need a reference book The Technique of Latin American Dancing by Walter Laird. This book contains all the technical details you will need for this examination and for all future Latin American examinations.
