Beginner-friendly, all-levels lessons every week. No reservation, prior dance experience, or partner are required! Wearing smooth-soled shoes that slide easily will help you dance comfortably and protect our wooden floors.

Instructors and topics rotate, so each class teaches something a little different. Several instructors also offer private lessons.
