Pro-Am Teacher

Marcin

"We feel that her systematic approach was beneficial to me and my students"

"As a Pro-Am teacher, I always felt uncertain about the technical boundaries of Smooth, especially in closed syllabus events. Unlike International Style, where the structure is clear, I found myself second-guessing what was truly permitted in Bronze, Silver, and Gold. That all changed when I enrolled in the Smooth Elements Chart Course from GlobalSmoothCertification.com.

This course completely transformed my approach to teaching and competing in Smooth. It broke down Holds, Proximities, Positions, Timing, and Footwork in a way that finally made sense—giving me and my student a strategic advantage in choreography, technique, and competition strategy. The result? We won a major Pro-Am title, and I felt more confident than ever knowing that our routines were not only beautifully creative but fully compliant with the rules of the style. If you’re serious about excelling in Smooth, this course is a must-have—it’s the missing piece every Pro-Am teacher needs!"

"My dance life changed forever"

"Before, I was confused trying to make sense of what the underlying structure of the Smooth style was. Now, I can identify and confidently teach the exact elements that make up the rules based choreography options at different syllabus levels. This course has truly been a game-changer for my teaching and creative choreography, allowing me to understand and express myself with a clarity I never thought possible.

Grazie mille, GlobalSmoothCertification.com, for helping this International dancer master the art of American Smooth!"

"Helped us reach our career highlights as Professional Smooth Competitors "

"As an Polish ballroom dancer trained in International Style, I had always found the Smooth style a bit confusing. The holds, proximity, timing, and positions seemed so different from what I was used to, and I struggled to fully grasp the nuances of it. That is, until I discovered the Smooth Elements Chart Course on GlobalSmoothCertification.com. This course has been a game-changer for me.

It breaks down the underlying rules for each level—Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Open—so clearly and systematically. I now understand exactly which holds, proximities, positions, and foot placements are permitted and how they vary across levels. The breakdown of timing and how to transition through elements with ease has completely transformed my approach to Smooth dance.

Thanks to this course, I now have a deeper, more confident understanding of the Smooth style and has enabled my consequent Smooth style Professional career into finals of major US and international Professional Smooth competitions."

Judge

"Confidently judging Smooth"

"As an International Style coach and judge, I always felt uncertain when it came to adjudicating American Smooth, especially in closed syllabus events. The style seemed unstructured compared to what I was used to, and I lacked the confidence to assess it fairly. That all changed when I took the Smooth Elements Chart Course fromGlobalSmoothCertification.com. This course provided the clarity I was missing - breaking down Smooth into its essential building blocks of Holds, Proximities, Positions, Timing, and Footwork, all clearly defined across Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Open levels. For the first time, I truly understood the rules and structure behind the style.

Now, I judge and adjudicate Smooth events with confidence, knowing exactly what is and isn’t permitted in each level. I highly recommend this course to any judge, coach, or competitor who wants a deeper understanding of the technical foundation of Smooth. It’s a game-changer!."
