Description

The mission of First Step Dance is to ensure that every person is able to dance comfortably in a social setting. First Step Dance offers a mixture of wedding workshops, weekly group classes, small group and private lessons. Monthly wedding workshops teach couples the dance basics to make their first dance together comfortable and fun. To ensure practice and repetition of skills, the group classes meet for an hour each week and cover three dances over a four-week period. Small group and private lessons are scheduled as required and the students determine the topics and dances covered. Group classes, designed to be as open and inviting as possible, teach singles and couples to dance socially with comfort and grace. Although trading partners is encouraged in group class it is not required. Partner dancing requires a partner, but group classes don't. Kevin Laddison, the owner of First Step Dance started dancing in 1997 at a Cajun music festival in Rhode Island. He danced socially for several years before a job relocation took him to the San Francisco area. In June of 2001 he began The Metronome Ballroom's Teacher Training Program, completing it in April of 2002. Two months later he passed the Dance Vision International Dancers Association (DVIDA) Basic Teachers Test - American Style Rhythm and Smooth with High Honors, the highest level possible.
