Next session, April 4 to May 2, 2024 Please note class size is limited and fills up quickly so register early to have your spot guaranteed. The five week series is $95.

Beginner: 7 – 8pm.  Perfect for newcomers to the dance, even if you have previous dance experience in other genres.
Basics Plus: 8 – 9pm.  Perfect for those that have taken my Beginner series and feel comfortable taking the basics to the next level. We will expand on patterns, incorporating deeper technique to level up your connection with your partner. 

Both series consist of 4 weeks of instruction/drilling and the 5th week is a 2 hour (7-9pm) practice/social dancing where both classes will mix together in a real dance setting and have the opportunity to feel everything they’ve learned with different partners to different WCS music. I will also be available for questions and help throughout the dance.
For those that have taken the Beginner series and enroll for Basics Plus, you may repeat the Beginner series for FREE! 🙂

5 weeks: $95 per person – NO PARTNER REQUIRED
