Our Classes

Classes are available in 3 different levels. Each student is expected to know all modules in a level before proceeding to the next level. Modules can be taken in any order.

Level 1 is a month long module and is intended for the dancer who does not have a firm grasp of their basic 6 and 8 count patterns.

Level 2 consists of five 4-week long modules and is intended for the dancer who is comfortable with their 6 and 8 count basics.

Level 3 is going to be a drop-in style class where content within a month is not necessarily related/dependent on other classes. This level is intended for the dancer who is ready for a challenge and is regularly social dancing.

For all level 1 and level 2 classes, students will not be allowed to start the modules after the second week of class without special instructor approval. An audition process will be available for all students who wish to take a higher level class without completing all modules in their current level. Please see any instructor shortly before classes.
