About Ballroom
Check out our calendar page to see which classes are happening this weekend!
Group classes are designed to teach basic technique, lead-follow skills, and musicality. They are available to everyone, although instructor permission is required for advanced group classes. The classes focus on repetition as a means of learning both the pattern and improving balance, coordination, and leading/following skills. Leading and following skills allow you to dance with confidence in a social dance setting.
Although group classes are designed to be taken in a series, it is not always possible to attend every class. Every week we review material from the previous weeks before learning new figures. This ensures that new students or students that missed a previous week are not left behind. The class’s learning speed depends on the size of the class and the skill levels of its participants.
Beginning group classes cost $7 per person if you pre-pay for the entire series or $9 to drop-in to an individual class. Intermediate group classes are $9 pre-paid or $11 for drop-ins and advanced classes are $11 per person pre-paid or $13 for drop-ins. Beginning group class rates for students are $5 per class if you pre-pay and $7 for a drop-in.
