How the Classes Work
Classes are taught in 4-week series, with two dances per series. Each week builds on the last, allowing dancers to develop timing, technique, and muscle memory. After each series, a new set of dances begins.
Beginner Class – Drop In Anytime
- Perfect for new dancers or anyone wanting to strengthen their basics.
- Learn basic steps and timing
- Lots of repetition to build confidence
- Most beginners need 4 weeks or more to feel comfortable
- Many dancers repeat the beginner series before moving up
- You may join the beginner class at any point during a series.
Intermediate Class - Builds week-to-week
- For dancers comfortable with the basic steps of a particular dance.
- Builds week-to-week with new patterns and skills
- Missing a class won’t put you too far behind but the class does not wait
Intermediate dancers are encouraged to also attend the beginner class to strengthen fundamentals and help newer dancers
No Partner Needed!
- Come with or without a dance partner.
- Learning to lead and follow works best when dancing with many people
- Partners rotate during class so everyone gets to dance
Couples may stay together if they prefer
Attire Recommendations:
No formal or dancewear is required to attend this class—comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely are perfectly fine. Jeans and t-shirts are welcome! Comfortable, supportive shoes are recommended. Of course, if you want to dress up, that’s just fine too!
Come dance, learn, and have fun!
