Adult Programs

Introductory Lessons

This 30 minute lesson gives you a sneak peak as to what you should expect of future lessons. At the same time this gives the instructor and idea of your goals, which will help your instructor to better plan your dance experience.

Private Lessons

Normally 55 minutes in length these lessons will be the core of your dance program. This is your time with your instructor to work towards your goals.

Group Lessons 

Meant to compliment your private lessons, these classes help you to excel by either reinforcing what you have already learned, or by teaching you something new, which you can then perfect during your private lesson.

Drop In Group Classes

Practice Parties(Socials)

As the saying goes “Practice makes Perfect”.  If you wish to become a good dancer, it only makes sense that you should practice what you have learned. These parties give you the opportunity to do just that amongst your fellow students. Practice parties are held throughout the week usually in the evening after a group class.
