Group Dance Classes
Group dance classes are a great way to supplement your private instruction. With an average of 8 to 15 students, they give you an opportunity to dance with a variety of partners. Group classes are also a great way to socialize and meet fellow students from the studio!
This collective dance experience is a good way for you to learn new dance steps that you can take to your private dance lesson for you and your dance instructor to touch upon. We offer group salsa classes, ballroom dances like the foxtrot and tango, swing dancing, and beginner classes.

Types of Dance Styles We Offer
Latin Dance Styles
Ballroom Dance Styles

Private Dance Lessons

Taking a private dance lesson is the easiest and the fastest way to become a better dancer! Our professional dance instructors provide a personalized experience so you achieve your goals.
Everybody has their own learning process, and we find that students tend to get the most bang for their buck when taking private lessons. The general rule is that you will receive as much from one hour of private dance classes as three to four hours of group instruction.
Dance Parties
Dance parties or social public dances are an important and fun part of the learning process. At these parties, you’ll have the opportunity to go out on the dance floor and try out all the technical dance styles and steps you learned in your dance lessons with various partners, professional dance instructors, other students, and guests.
Dancing in this relaxed environment eases the stress of dancing in front of other people and builds confidence for all of your future dancing.
