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.

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.
