Introductory Package

Purchase Introductory Package which includes two private lessons, one four-week group course, and one dance party for a single or couple.

Dance Parties

Dance parties at the studio give students a chance to cut loose and put their training to use in a comfortable environment. Share the dance floor with other students who are working on improving their dancing skills just like you are!

Group Courses

During group courses instructors will transition from teaching the group to walking around giving individual attention to each student. This is a great segue to practicing and dancing outside of the studio. It allows students to practice their dancing on their own while having a guide close by in case they run into any issues.

Private Lessons

Private lessons give the individual or couple the full attention of the instructor. This allows the lesson to be customized around the student’s interests AND speeds up the learning process.

Introductory Session

New students can schedule a time that is convenient for them to meet with one of our instructors who will introduce them to partner dancing. Our instructors have three goals during an Introductory Session: Give the student a first-hand experience of the process they will be going through when learning to dance. Explain scheduling and pricing so that the student understands how to register for classes and/or lessons. Provide the student with a recommended path based on their interests, schedule, budget, etc.
