We start with a warm up and a stretch then learn a choreography that we stay with for a few weeks, building and adding on but teaching it slowly from the beginning in each class. The more you come to class the quicker it sinks in and before you know it you are off and dancing!! The only rule is to HAVE FUN finding your rhythm and flow in this supportive and diverse community of dancers.
