bullet Ballroom I and II
Our most popular courses! "Survival Dancing" made fun and easy. Note—there are three sections (12 lessons) in BR I and the same in BR II, always packaged as follows:

  • Waltz, Single Swing & Cha Cha
  • Foxtrot, Triple Swing & Rumba
  • Tango, Foxtrot & Waltz

Do 1, 2 or all 3 sections, yes even all at one time within 4 weeks. The closer you keep them, the better you'll do! Double selections offered nightly so you can make it through these get-by levels faster, and make it more worth your trip in. The dances are inter-related, so learning is effortless. Get great exercise and great results at a minimal expense. It doesn't matter which section(s) you start with; however, before graduating to BR II, all 3 BR I's are prerequisite. They give you the style and "steering" necessary for the more advanced BR II level, and you can even take 2 in 1 night without getting confused. (Foxtrot and Waltz cover a lot of extra "driving skills", and how to avoid clunking, crashing and traffic tickets. You might even get an official "dancer's driver's license" upon completion of all 12 lessons.) See Schedules for timeslot choices.

bullet Ballroom III & IV
Focus on more advanced steps and form. Discover how to look and feel like a more accomplished dancer while developing your style, poise, and rhythm. (Prerequisite courses or private hours needed.) See Schedules for timeslot choices.

bullet Salsa I, II, & III

bullet Latin I, II, and III
Fast-paced and challenging—the perfect way to master those Beginner through Advanced Latin moves. Mucho, mucho steps and mucho, mucho people—you'll love the rhythmical, eye-catching moves, styling, and steps! Know your basics (BR I). See Schedules for timeslot choices.

bullet Swing/Jitterbug

bullet West Coast Swing
West Coast Swing classes are a natural for producing some of the best lead–follow students and rhythm development. Our rhythm exercises, form, footwork, and exciting combos are easier to master than you can imagine. It's great material and can be used in the faster EC Swing too. See Schedules for timeslot choices.

bullet Hustle! 'Round here people still love Disco or "Sling-Hustle." It has such intricate, stylish and fun moves. This is a "dancer's dance" and really develops the lead–follow skills. Get set to dance! See Schedules for timeslot choices.
