Brush up on your dance skills or learn new ones with Krista and Kevin’s expertise.
Wednesdays from 7:00-7:40 pm will be a Basic level class with a 20 minute practice dance afterward focused on the dances taught that evening. The Basic class will introduce two dances each week - one fast and one slow dance – the next week will be two different dances. You will always be introduced to the basic step of the dance and a variation. Drop-ins are encouraged.
Thursdays from 7:00-8:00+ pm will be an open dance for you to come and practice your new skills or just for a fun time dancing. We will play a variety of fun, contemporary music.
Private Lessons are by appointment and are a 40-minute period of instruction. Private lessons are available Tuesday – Friday evenings and weekends. To accelerate your learning of dance, please contact Krista or Kevin to set up an appointment. Ask about our introductory offer.
FOX TROT: The Fox Trot is the most popular social dance in the world. A foundational dance that's easy to learn, it helps you improve in other dances.
WALTZ : One of the most beautiful of all dances, with its sweeping steps and whirling action. Danced at weddings and social events, the waltz is great for developing grace and balance.
AMERICAN TANGO : This dramatic dance done to dramatic music is intoxicating. Often considered a "dancer's dance," you will be surprised at how easy it is to learn and how it develops your ability to dance with power and drama.
RUMBA : The only slow Latin dance, this is a dance of romance that can be danced in many venues. Based on the basic box step, rumba patterns can be adapted to other dances.
EAST COAST SWING : This is a fun, energetic dance that can be done to music from the 1940s all the way up to today's hip hop songs. Lots of fun turns and variety to learn. Think Lost in the 50s!
WEST COAST SWING : This dance is done generally to medium tempo music, usually slower than East Coast Swing. The patterns are danced in a slot and, once the basics are mastered, can be very interpretive and creative.
CHA CHA : This is a fun Latin dance with lots of personality that is very adaptable to different eras of music. Based on the famous Cha-Cha-Cha moves of the feet, the patterns are fun and easy to learn and can be danced at weddings, night clubs and ballrooms.
SALSA : Popular and trendy, this dance has patterns similar to the Cha Cha but is danced to faster music. Danced at Salsa clubs all over the country, on cruises, at vacation spots...
NIGHTCLUB TWO-STEP : A beautiful dance designed for slow, romantic, soft rock songs. A very versatile dance with beautiful turns.
SLOW DANCE : Very easy to learn, this dance can be done to music that other dances can't. Danced in a small area, this can be done at nightclubs, weddings, and on small dance floors. A great dance to get started with, especially for those who are a bit shy to get up on the dance floor.
