Good to know
Do I need to finish Fundamentals first?
We recommend it. Intermediate builds on everything in Fundamentals (Level One), and each class prepares you for the next.
What if a class feels too advanced?
Many of these classes go into more detail than a standard Level Two course, and some review Level One concepts. If a section feels too advanced, come back to it later. Your progress is saved.
Is it really included in my membership?
Yes. Every class on this page is part of your FCBD®U membership. There’s nothing extra to buy.
What if I fall behind?
Go at your own pace. Your classes stay in your library, so you can pick up where you left off or repeat a week any time.
What do I need to get started?
Comfortable clothes, a little space to move, and your zils (finger cymbals) by Week Nine.
How do I track my progress?
Each class on this page shows your progress bar once you’ve started it, and many classes award their own certificate when you complete them. The workbook helps you track all twelve weeks.
Will more classes be added?
Yes! We add to this series regularly, so check back and watch our newsletter for updates.

Uniting the world through dance, one shimmy, one turn, one chorus at a time.
