This level presents the most defiant combinations of this Afro-Caribbean genre, as well as the finer points of style and body movement.

Each lesson style provides the time and space necessary for the nationally and internationally recognized teacher to focus on the main aspects of dance technique, skill, or understanding in which a person wishes to excel.
