Additional Details
Our classes do not require a partner as we usually rotate in group classes.
We encourage people to rotate to learn the art of social dancing. We do not force this, but think it is important for learning and growing as a dancer. It is a great way to meet people.
Level 1 classes are all levels and great for new dancers! Often students attend our progressive classes for many consecutive months in order to develop a better understanding of these dance styles, continually build skills for more fun on the social dance floor, and being part of our community that truly enjoys learning together.
