Dance Classes

​Anybody can dance and we'll show you how! We'll break down the basics into simple chunks and give you lots of time to practice. You'll get your body moving and laugh with your classmates while you listen to some of the greatest music ever! It won't be scary, we promise.

You don't need to have any dance experience to take these classes. You don't need a partner.

Swing Dancing Classes

We teach three sections of beginner swing dancing on Monday and Wednesday nights:
​Lindy Hop​, 6-Count/East Coast, and Charleston. You can take the sections in any order. 

Beginner Tap Dancing Classes

This class is aimed at total beginner tappers. ​You’ll learn technique and steps slowly, working your way up to short combinations each week. Students should bring tap shoes if they have them, or smooth-soled shoes if they don’t.
