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

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!

BEGIN THE FIRST WEEK OF ANY MONTH -- ALL CLASSES $40/month.  INTRO SPECIAL $20/month.  

NEW DANCER?  START WITH ENTRY LEVEL #I --NEWCOMER'S INTRO TO DANCE ON WEDNESDAYS.  Our Intro to Partner Dance series rotates through several dances  and is slower-paced for those who have never danced before.

 NEXT:  ENTRY LEVEL II -- LEARN FUNDAMENTALS OF EACH DANCE IN ANY BASICS' or 'COUPLES' CLASSES.    We suggest you take at least one month of NEWCOMER INTRO CLASS  prior, but you're welcome to join at this level as well.  Basics and Couples classes are faster-paced than 'Newcomers'  and include technique and styling fundamentals.  They are great classes to really learn and/or to review a dance.    BASICS classes should be repeated 2x to complete the material.   INTERMEDIATE to ADVANCED classes can be repeated indefinitely, always new material. 

PREREQUISITES for class levels 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, or simply review material -- within the framework of simple patterns.  PREREQUISITES for WORKSHOPS are BASICS class in the dance or instructor approval.
