The Ballroom Dance Medal System
The Medal System is designed for students who want to be well-rounded social ballroom dancers or competitive ballroom dancers. The Medal System is an organized system of syllabus figures used worldwide to keep track of your ballroom dance progress. Syllabus figures, or “school figures,” as they are sometimes called are small patterns of steps that embody the primary elements of ballroom dance. These figures, or patterns, are split into three escalating levels of difficulty designated as “bronze,” “silver” or “gold” levels. This is to enable the student to master each level before moving up to the challenge of the next, more difficult level. Diligent study and practice of these elements at each level will produce a capable, well-rounded social or competitive ballroom dancer.
The Bronze Medal Program is designed for the ballroom dance student who wants to become a Good Social Dancer. A Bronze ballroom dancer is considered to be fun to dance with and a good dancer in all the popular social dance styles.
