HOW DO YOUR CLASSES WORK?
We teach steps, not just moves and how to dance with a partner well. We firmly believe this gives greater enjoyment, longevity and is safer for each person. We strive to teach with dignity and compassion, giving each dancer individual support. It is our experience after dancing and teaching for over 20 years than you can never get too much of the fundamentals. We encourage dancers to take classes several times to really cement the dance style into the body and mind. Knowing the fundamentals allows for greater enjoyment of dance and for creativity. As is standard across the social dancing industry we do change partners throughout classes in order to help individuals grow in their skills and facilitate learning. No one is mandated to change partners, though it is encouraged.
HOW DO I REGISTER?
Pre-registration with full payment is strongly recommended as classes are limited to 30 participants. A waiting list will be created and you will be on the list for the next session first or if anyone drops before the first night.

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!
