HOW DO YOUR CLASSES WORK?
We emphasize solid fundamentals and effective partner connection rather than flashy isolated moves, creating a safer, more enjoyable dance experience that supports long-term growth. We strive to teach with dignity and compassion, giving each dancer individual support. As is standard across the social dancing industry we do change partners throughout classes in order to help individuals grow in their skills and to best facilitate learning.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN A DANCE STYLE?
It is our experience after dancing and instructing for over 25 years, that you can never get too much of the fundamentals. We encourage dancers to take fundamentals classes a few times to really cement the dance style into the body and mind. Knowing the fundamentals allows for greater enjoyment of dance and for creativity. Learning and growing in dance takes time and practice.
HOW DO I REGISTER?
Pre-registration encouraged as class size is limited.
Email or your name, which class you are interested in attending, which payment method you will be using and we will add you to the class roster.
HOW DO I PAY?
We accept Zelle, Cash, Check, Credit Cards at the door the first night of class. All Practice dances and Dance Parties are cash at the door. **A convenience fee is added to credit card payments.
DO I HAVE TO HAVE A PARTNER?
No partner is required to join our classes as we all dance with each other during class sessions as this helps with learning, but it’s great if you can bring a friend to learn and practice with!
WHERE ARE CLASSES AND DANCES HELD?
Our dance classes are at our studio (Founders Studio home of the Bee's Knees Dance Prescott), 215 N. McCormick St in Prescott. We host classes occasionally at different venues throughout the quad city area.
WHAT DO I WEAR?
We highly recommend low heeled dance shoes or boots with suede or leather soles to avoid ankle and knee strain for all our classes. Shoes must be worn in all classes and dances, no socks, bare feet or flip flops are allowed in class.
