Beginner series

Start at the very beginning

If you've always wanted to dance but weren't sure you could, start here. No experience and no partner needed: we start at the very beginning and rotate partners in class. Lead and follow are non-gendered, so choose the side that suits you.

Rumba is slow, romantic, and made for connection. East Coast Swing is lively, playful, and built for upbeat music. Over six weeks you'll go from the basic step to dancing a full song in each, with weekly handouts and practice videos.
