Ballroom & Swing Dance
About This Event
No partner required!
The Ballroom Sampler is your introduction to classic ballroom and upbeat swing styles. Each class you'll try out two different dances, giving you the chance to explore a variety of looks, rhythms, and partner dynamics, all in one class!
Whether you're brand new or just want to try something different, this is a great way to build confidence, learn foundational skills, and discover which styles you enjoy most.
In the ballroom/swing class, you may experience styles like Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Rumba, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, and Hustle.
No two weeks will ever be the same, so drop-in or book a four week course and enjoy a new experience every time you attend.
You will rotate partners throughout the class to improve your ability to dance and connect with dancers of all levels.
CLASS STRUCTURE
Each session includes 45 minutes of instructor-led group work, followed by 15 minutes of practice.
PRICING
$40 per person, or if you have a credit package-- 1 credit per person.
Courses and credit packages offer discounts on classes.
