Your First Steps

How Adult Beginners Get Started

Start with our introductory offer: two 40-minute private lessons and one practice session for $59. In your first lesson, your instructor gets to know what kind of dancing you enjoy and teaches the basics of a few popular dances. Your second lesson builds on those basics, and the practice session gives you a friendly place to try them with other students.

You can come on your own or bring a partner, and there is no dress code beyond comfortable clothes and smooth-soled shoes. Lessons are available Monday to Friday, 11 AM to 8 PM, at 6655 E McDowell Rd, Suite 109, in Mesa.

Did You Know?

Dancing benefits your mind and your body

Learning to dance as an adult is exercise that does not feel like a workout, and it keeps your mind busy with new patterns and rhythms. Many of our beginners tell us the biggest change is confidence, on the dance floor and off it.
