Congratulations to all the students who took their medal exams today @ Century!! Our 6h virtual session couldn’t have been smoother and the examiner was well impressed with the quality of dancing, the superb organisation and her expert comments were very well received. Your teachers could not be any prouder. Only a few more exams to go to complete our Fall examinations. #medalexams #usistd #dancegoals #2020 #technique #ballroom #latin #smooth #rhythm

Good luck to our students who will be testing tomorrow their dancing skills against the standards of the prestigious US-ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing)!! The exams will be conducted virtually and we are very lucky to be examined by Mrs Lori Wood Gay. #medalexams #usistd #dancinggoals #timing #footwork #posturepostureposture

And.. we are all set for tonight! Please make sure you check your email inbox (and spam box just in case) and look out for Century’s newsletter. Tonight’s call will be exclusive for the Spotlight participants and Century’s active students still waiting to return to the studio. Our studio owner and national adjudicator Eddie Alba will be giving exclusive feedback on all students and performances! Thank you for being part of the Century family and we can’t wait to connect with... you all tonight! Let’s make history together by holding the first ever Virtual Spotlight! The Century team.

Well done Barbara!! She was the first in the studio to take her medal examinations online. Our examiner for the day was Mrs Doris Wood-Gay who had a close look at each dance giving us a most valuable feedback and great detailed report! All the remaining candidates will be examined on October 4th and we wish everyone good luck! #medalexams #usistd #dancegoals #technique #ballroom #americansmooth #americanrhythm

Great news! Orange County has moved to the red tier of the new reopening phase. We are now officially allowed to stay open at 10% capacity. We would like to invite our dancers to pop in our studio and see how we are operating. Our commitment to your health is our top priority and we will remain operational with the following modifications: - Reduced Numbers and extended hours. Most of our students have exclusive usage of the ballroom with their teacher. ... - Temperature check for all staff and members at arrival. - No cancellation policy! Only healthy dancers and teachers are allowed in the studio! Anyone not feeling well must refrain from coming in. - Frequent Hand washing (at least before and after each lesson) and usage of the alcohol based hand sanitisers spread throughout the studio. - Compulsory face covering for staff and members. - No singing allowed even if you’re having fun! (Kidding but serious at the same time.. ) We would like to invite anyone who’s been away since March to get in touch and book a visit to the studio and see how we are operating. We would love to see your faces again.

Finally!! After 10 weeks of studio reopening I can now fit in my Ballroom trousers!!.. Thank you to all my students that have deposited their confidence in the ...studio and our safety measures. 10 weeks is what it took to get rid of this quarantine weight!! Never again I intend to get out of shape like this! #healthylifestyle #eatwise #exercise #dancedancedance

Great news! All dance professionals and students alike can now dance safely and work towards a goal! Ballroom together is an innovative online competition where you can compete with your teacher from the safety of your own dance studio and get scored by a distinguished panel of 7 adjudicators (including our very own Eddie Alba) with an innovative 6 score system. Any studio is welcome to join as this aims to be a global event. Dust your sparkles and talk to your teachers on how to participate. Amateur and Solo competitions also available!

A guide for everyone wanting to go back to the dance floor. Mask are difficult at first but like everything else we get used to it. Humans are resilient. Dancers will always be dancers. We’re not letting this stopping us..

Dear all, We have finally took the difficult decision to close our doors until further notice. We decided that everyone's health and well being is more important and we share your concerns on this global crisis. Choreography sessions for the upcoming showcase will be postponed as well as any classes, social parties or events. We truly hope that everyone's efforts will make us get through this crisis quicker.... We will take this time to ponder and plan our comeback. We know you will all miss dancing which is such an important part of our lives and we will miss you but we promise we will come back stronger and even more motivated. Please keep looking for updates and if you have any questions please don't hesitate in contacting us! Stay well and be safe, The management team.

Dear students, Due to the present times and the health concerns going global we would like to just enforce basic prevention methods that should be adopted on a daily basis. We advise all students and teachers to:... - Wash your hands before and after each dance session. - Refrain from touching your face (eyes, nose and mouth) during the dance session. If you do so, please use the hand sanitizer provided in the studio immediately. - Monitor your own health and should you present any cold or flu symptoms (cough, temperature, runny nose, etc) please let us know and please refrain from attending your dance lesson for everyone's peace of mind. - When greeting other students and teachers please refrain from hugging and kissing, it appears that the new trend is a fist or an elbow bump. These are just basic health measures that we should all apply on a daily basis not just in but also outside of the dance studio. We wish everyone a happy dance week and looking forward to welcoming you on the dance floor. The management team. Ps. Please also don't forget your umbrella and stay dry!! It looks like we're in for a rainy week!

Attention! Bronze Tango Group Class tonight is cancelled.

Next week we set sail for our first choreography session with Elena Grinenko! There are still some slots left so if you want to be a part of our 2020 Summer Showcase, sign up NOW!
