Group dance lessons work alongside your private instruction because they are where dance patterns, style, and ballroom dancing techniques are developed. Group classes also give students the opportunity to connect with others who share similar dance goals, improve coordination, and better understand the movement and mechanics involved in dancing.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Scheduled practice parties reinforce everything introduced during your private dance lessons and group ballroom dancing classes. At Fred Astaire Dance Studios\u2019 practice parties, we lower the lights, turn up the music, and enjoy dancing with a variety of people in a fun and relaxed social atmosphere. Practice parties help you \u201cbring everything together,\u201d improve music recognition skills, and teach you how to comfortably navigate a busy dance floor without bumping into others. Practice parties are an enjoyable (and fun!) way to use everything you are learning.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
