Group Classes
Group classes are a great way to get into dancing and we have lots of classes going on all the time! It's the perfect cure for two left feet. We teach many different forms of social and competitive dance at a variety of different levels. We offer mainly two types of classes:
4-Week Series classes take you on a journey of learning over several weeks. This means that each week you will review material from previous weeks and build on your experiences. Most of our classes are 4-week series classes and early registration is highly recommended. Classes fill up quickly and you get a discounted early registration rate. Depending on the month and studio closings especially around the holidays, we may at times offer 2-Week or 3-Week Series classes. Please check the Calendar for the most up-to-date schedule. All series classes are 50-minutes long.

Drop-in classes are classes you can take and drop in without any commitment. You just come in that day, take the class and go for it. Each week, these classes usually teach either the same material building a strong foundation or teach certain targeted subjects like styling or technique depending on the class and instructor. Pre-registration is recommended as these classes fill up quickly. Please check the Calendar for the most up-to-date schedule. All drop-in classes are 50-minutes long.

No matter which class you take, you will learn the fundamentals, patterns, and partnering skills, in a friendly and fun setting. Classes maintain a medium pace throughout your class and if there's any doubt, the instructors will take the time to repeat materials so you get it right. Even if you can’t get it, our popular Private Lesson program is available to work on a specific step or to improve your dancing so you can move like a Pro in no time.
