| Group Classes Group classes are designed to provide a social and economical way to learn dance. The structure of the group class focuses on the development of specific skills combined with the fun of partner dancing. You will learn a dance through well-organized instruction focused on each element of a particular dance, to include the music and character of the dance, basic patterns, footwork, rhythm, the dance frame and lead/follow, the leader's ability to communicate his intentions for the couple's movement, and the follower's ability to correctly interpret his intentions, and respond appropriately and effectively. Level 1 classes focus on the essential basic elements and over the course of one month, will include a variety of basic patterns which will comfortably and confidently ease you out onto the dance floor. Level 1 classes are a beneficial review for intermediate dancers who wish to further refine their technique. Level 2 classes offer the intermediate dancer the opportunity to expand their dance repertoire with more advanced patterns, technique and styling. Private Lessons Private lessons offer students the opportunity to receive instruction that complements their learning in group classes, or to enhance their skills through personalized attention focusing on a higher level of understanding of the mechanics and technique of dance, and their unique challenges in dance. Private lessons accelerate learning, and provide a wholly supportive experience for those interested in taking their dancing to higher levels. Whether you want to boost your confidence in social dancing or reach for your dreams as a competitive dancer, the private lesson is the most effective path for reaching your goals. DanceSport DanceSport is the term used to describe the competitive dance discipline. DanceSport is open to
any dancer, of any skill level and age, to experience the thrill of dancing in dazzling costume in a ballroom with other dancers of their skill and experience level.

Workshops Workshops are a concentrated learning experience designed to enhance a student's understanding and performance of a specific dance, with the challenge of more complex patterns and choreography. We utilize the workshop format to focus on individual social dances for students interested in a particular dance or style. Workshops are an intensive experience, coupled with the social atmosphere of an intimate party, where the participants mingle and work together in a small group format.
