| Cynthia’s Concepts of Class Levels |

| Over the course of experience, Cynthia class formatting inspires an uplifting learning and self exploring path. The art was design for many levels of dancers, at many ages and times in life. Its vastness is completely open to those with the time and patience to explore. |  |

| It’s rooty earthy hips, its elegant grace, its modern flair of fusion; the art has history and knowledge that will open to everyone in their own very special way. “It takes a teacher to open the door of possibility and it’s the student that must be willing to walk through.” Cynthia's purpose in teaching is to open the possibilities and provide a positive, safe, orderly space so you can explore the PREFECT LEVEL for YOU. |

| Level 1- Fun and Fitness - this is the first step in learning that covers basic movements, transitional combinations, base line dance & music concepts and techniques.
