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.

• Getting Started with the Basics 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 for being part of our community that truly enjoys learning together.
