This quote totally describes dance:  "The mighty oak was once a little nut who held it's ground".  

ALL CLASSES $40/month.  INTRO SPECIAL $20/month.  

No partner is needed for any DanceWell classes or parties except for our 'Couples Only' class.  Unless otherwise listed all classes are 55-minutes long.  We encourage repetition of each month's class material  to fully master the movement, patterns and concepts of all our classes.  And we hope you will enjoy your time with us!

Which class should I join to become a well-rounded social dancer?   Entry Level Classes are: Newcomer's 'INTRO , BASIC' or 'COUPLES' classes.   Our Intro to Partner Dance series lasts 4 months and is slower-paced for those who have never danced before. Basic and Couples classes are faster-paced.  All three are great classes to learn fundamentals and/or to review dances.   Then join BASIC, BEYOND BASIC, INTERMEDIATE, and then ADVANCED.  PREREQUISITES for every class level are either the previous class level or Instructor approval.  WORKSHOPS:  Workshops break down and apply technique into one dance -- whether footwork, connection or movement skills -- within the framework of simple patterns.  PREREQUISITES for WORKSHOPS are BEYOND BASIC class in the dance or instructor approval. Click for  Class Information Page   Unless otherwise listed all classes are 55-minutes long.  Input for The DanceWell Class Calendar is by Student Survey.  (Survey link on Home Page)
