This will be a basic ballroom class focusing on the most popular slow and fast dances. A few basics in these dances enables a person to pretty much dance to all music, so it is an excellent class for those who are involved in weddings. In no time at all, you'll be able to get a great start and have a reasonable degree of comfort dancing the basics.

The content of each class series is decided by the third week of the present class by those registered for the class. While we often focus on Foxtrot, Waltz and Swing, we also explore dances such as Tango, Hustle, Merengue, Country Two Step, Polka or other dances. We usually focus on two dances in any given month. Some people continue for several months perfecting the basics or getting a sampling of several dances. This is a very beginner friendly class, so newcomers are always welcome to join.

Practice Dances
You can practice the dancing you learned in your class by attending our monthly practice dance held at the end of the month on Mondays from 8-9 p.m. The dance is for all students taking classes, private lesson students and any guests you would like to bring. These dances are for beginners, so no experience is necessary. The cost is only $5 per person in advance. It's highly recommended that you preregister for the practice dance when you register for your class.

If you would like to learn a little faster and a little more in depth, this class is for you. We eventually cover all the dances, and we cover more technique as well. This is a good class for people who like the economy and social atmosphere of a group. Some of the people have stayed in the group for months and some are brand new to it. So, people are at different levels of learning. This is a very fun group of people as well, so now matter where you are in your dancing, you are bound to have a good time. You should know the basics in several dances or be able to learn at a faster pace.

As with our other classes, this class decides by the third week of the current class what the focus of the following month will be. Sometimes everyone decides to do the same thing for several months. Sometimes they like to sample different dances. Whatever we do, we always have fun!
