Koraki po kriterijih
Terminologija in razdelitev korakov po nivojih znanja ustreza kriterijem NTA – National Teachers Organisation for Country-Western Dance. Po priporočilu se korakov ne prevaja.
Nivoji so naslednji:
BASIC:
Za plesalce, ki se z nobeno obliko plesa še niso ukvarjali.
NOVICE:
Za plesalce, ki imajo osnovno znanje plesne terminologije. Ta nivo je most med začetnim in splošnim nivojem, kjer se koraki iz nivoja v nivo prepletajo.
INTERMEDIATE:
Za plesalce, ki imajo solidno znanje plesne terminologije in so že kdaj plesali.
ADVANCED:
Za plesalce, ki imajo solidno znanje plesne terminologije, ki z lahkoto izvajajo bolj kompleksne korake in njihove kombinacije in so se sposobni izražati na bolj stilsko-tehnično izpopolnjen način.
