Group Classes: Most students start with group instruction. Group lessons allow each student to build confidence and practice dance etiquette in a fun non intimidating atmosphere with other students at the same level. Many students form social dance networks by attending group lessons, so please do join us!

We rotate frequently so no partner is necessary. Rotation helps to develop lead and follow technique faster by dancing with different people. Of course we completely understand if some couples prefer to stay together

Private Lessons: Private lessons allow students to improve skill levels at their own pace. These sessions consist of one on one training with a professional instructor in a private setting and is the most effective way to polish technique and become a more proficient dancer. We are available for at home or in studio sessions. Contact us about rates and scheduling via email, phone or after class.
