Group Classes

Go to "Settings" on your phone. Click on the internet you are using (for example "Safari"). Turn off "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking". This should fix the issue. 

To protect all our participants we ask that you be able to answer "no" to all of these questions before showing up for any of your lessons:

• Have you experienced any of the following symptoms in the past 72 hours: fever, cough, scratchy throat, difficulty breathing, chills, loss of smell or taste, nausea, vomiting, or flu-like symptoms?
• Are you aware of having been physically near (less than 6ft) to anyone who has Covid in the past week?
• Have you recently tested positive (regardless of present symptoms) or are you awaiting results of a recent covid test because of concerns you may have the virus? 
  

If you answered “Yes” to any of these 3 questions, regardless of being symptomatic or not, we kindly ask you to remain home for everyone’s health and safety.

In alignment with current mandates, we are not requiring students to wear masks, however, we encourage everyone to participate as they are most comfortable - with or without a mask.

VOTE HERE! We teach over 20 styles of Partner dances (ranging from Smooth/Standard - Rhythm/Latin - Social, etc), and several open-level Solo dance styles. We offer Intro/Beginner leveled classes, Open level, as well as Beyond Beginner, and Intermediate/Advanced levels. And YOU can vote for the classes you would like to see on our class schedule. Once voting closes for the next session (2.5 weeks into the current session - on a Wednesday night), the top classes are put on the calendar for the next session. The top 2 voted dances generally go on the schedule twice a week. The other top-voted classes will go on the schedule once a week generally.  Check out the voting page to see all of our options and of course to VOTE!

Intro Classes

Intro classes are designed to give you a small, bite-size taste of the dance. You will be introduced to a few basic patterns and techniques in hopes the experience will whet your appetite for a richer, more fulfilling experience with the dance – like our beginner class. (Intro classes and beginner classes are both the same level, the beginner class just offers twice the number of classes within the session – 8 in the beginner as opposed to 4 in the intro.)

Beginner Classes

Beginner classes are designed to give you all the basics you will need to be a competent beginner dancer on the floor. Proper form, technique, and basic patterns will be focused on at this level.

Intro and Beginner leveled classes are good for:

• People who have never danced before! Bring me your 2-left footed, uncoordinated, and rhythmically challenged!
• Beginner/Intermediate dancers looking to practice and perfect their basics.
• Intermediate/Advanced dancers who really need/want to focus on and practice foundational technique.

** This is not a good level for Intermediate/Advanced students who:

• need a faster-paced class.
• feel they have mastered all the basic patterns, movements, and techniques and feel they do not have anything left to learn or practice at the basic level.
• do not have the patience to support brand new dancers in their learning process. 

Beyond Beginner Classes

Beyond beginner is the intermediary level to bridge Beginner to Intermediate. Learn important concepts, technique, and patterning that takes you just beyond the beginner level and eases you into the intermediate level. 

Beyond Beginner leveled classes are good for:

• Beginner students who have learned their basics, but don’t quite feel ready for intermediate classes yet.
• Intermediate dancers looking to practice and perfect familiar (or learn new) skills and patterns.
• Advanced dancers looking to practice and perfect their technique.

** This is not a good level for:

• People who have never danced.
• Beginners who do not yet have a good grasp of the basics of the dance.
• Intermediate/Advanced students who need a faster-paced class

Intermediate Classes

Intermediate classes are our faster moving classes. Students are expected to already have mastered their basic skills and should be prepared to learn more complex patterning, skills, and advanced technique and styling.

Intermediate leveled classes are good for:

• Beginner students who can competently perform their basic patterns and technique from our beginner classes and are ready to learn more. Please review our syllabus or ask your instructor if you are unsure if this class is appropriate for you.
• Intermediate/Advanced level students.

** This is not a good level for:

• People who have never danced.
• Beginners who cannot competently perform the basics of the dance.

 Go to "Learn about the Dances" and click on the dance you want to practice. You will find a playlist of music to practice to there

 Go to "Learn about the Dances" where we have all sorts of information including playlists of examples of the dance AND music for you to listen and practice to! Want to know more about a class currently on the schedule? Just click on that class on the calendar and click "more details". 

• Expect to be a student; which means you will be learning, and not always feel comfortable or confident with the new information you are given. We want our students to have a great time, but also give them a solid foundation based on good technique and foundational patterns and movements. 
• Expect corrections; as your instructors, it is our duty to make you into the best dancer we possibly can, and this can only be accomplished with good instruction, communication and corrections, and also coachable students. 
  

(To really get an idea of what to expect, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND you read our "Dance Class Etiquette" page, which will give you a COMPLETE look at what you can expect walking into our dance classes.) 

​If you would like to know more about a specific dance class, simply click on the class on the studio calendar and read the "Details" section, or click "more details" for more information. There you will find more specific information. 

Wear clothes you feel comfortable moving in and appropriate foot attire (dance shoes, jazz sneakers, leather-soled shoes, or even socks).  If and when you are ready to become a little more serious, we can order dance shoes for you in a wide array of styles.  In the meantime, you want to wear something that stays on your feet (flip-flops, slip-ins, and mules not recommended)!  Please no marking soles on our floor! (If you want more information about dance shoes, please take a look at our "Dance Shoes" section.) 

I know we addressed this above already, but we'll say it again, NOPE! In a group class everybody dances with everybody, so even if you brought a partner, you'd still be dancing with everyone in the class!
