Explore the art of partner dancing in a supportive and engaging environment with our group classes. We have adult classes for both beginners and more seasoned dancers. Our expert instructors meticulously break down each dance, guiding you clearly through each stage of movement, ensuring both mastery of steps and embodiment of the distinctive style.
Our unique teaching approach relies on interconnected learning, allowing seamless skill transfer between dances. Prioritizing hands-on learning, our classes provide practical experience, building confidence and proficiency.
To enrich your experience we rotate partners throughout the class, offering opportunities to practice leading or following with various partners. This approach refines your dancing abilities, enabling effortless application with any partner. Our ultimate goal is to create an inclusive and enjoyable atmosphere where you can have a blast while refining your dance skills.
