Partners are always welcome but it is not necessary to have a partner. Our classes have couples who do not rotate on one side of the room and individuals without a partner on the other side of the room. Individuals will rotate every few minutes – a great way to meet new people and learn to dance with a variety of leads and follows. We also take the time to ensure our numbers are even in class so that you get the most out of your lesson and we have between 5-8 assistants and volunteers who attend every class and can fill in for absent students if necessary.
Absolutely! Just email us in advance to book an appointment.
Most of our students are between the ages of 13 to 50; but, we welcome all adult dancers of all ages! Please note that no matter your age, you should be in good physical health when considering our classes. As with all physical activity, if there is any question regarding your physical ability to take the class, please consult your physician first.
Most of our students find our class pace just right. However, everyone learns at a different pace. If you find the class difficult, there are plenty of instructors and volunteers to assist you during the class. Outings and socials are a great way to practice moves but we also recommend practicing at home after your class. Private lessons are another option to assist you in understanding and executing the movements covered in the class as well as improving your skills (please see our Private Lessons section for further details). Finally, students are encouraged to repeat a class at a discounted rate to ensure that you have grasped all the moves and concepts.
