These parties take place most Friday nights at 7PM for guests. We start off with a warm-up group lesson to introduce the basics of ballroom and social dancing. After a quick break, the Practice Party kicks off at 8PM.<\/p>\n<p>Practice Parties are a wonderful and effective way to work on what you&#8217;ve learned in your lessons. Some of our newer students may be intimidated by the thought of a social dance party at first. Maybe you feel apprehensive about dancing in front of others, or you&#8217;re just not sure what to expect.<\/p>\n<p>We completely understand, and this is why Practice Parties exist: to help you get comfortable moving on the dance floor in a relaxed, friendly, supportive and FUN environment! Your dance instructor will also be there, and will definitely be checking in with you throughout the evening. Also, remember that parties are a part of your dance program. They are included at no additional charge!<\/p>\n<p>Several of our parties throughout the year are themed, and involve free refreshments!
