Private Lessons
Many students choose to study one on one with an instructor. One advantage of private instruction is that lessons may be arranged around the student's schedule. Some students find that working one on one with an instructor enables them to find comfort in dancing more rapidly than in group classes. For more information on private lessons, please click on the Private Lessons tab at the top of the page.
Group Classes
Group classes are a great way to dance. All of our group classes are open to anybody. You do NOT need a partner!
All of our classes are open to all students, but some of the classes are really geared toward students who commit to taking class every week, or twice a week. You may still drop-in to those classes, but you should be aware that most of the students come to the class regularly. The classes that last for an hour and a half (double classes) are the classes more geared toward constant participation.
You can purchase class credits and register for classes from our online schedule. To learn more about our group classes - including the costs - click on the group class tab at the top of the page.
