Designed for Real Learning and Real Confidence.
Group Courses
During each class, instructors transition between teaching the full group and walking around to give personalized feedback. This structure helps students build confidence, learn how to practice on their own, and feel comfortable dancing outside of the studio—while always having an instructor nearby for support.
New to dancing? Many students start with an Introductory Session before joining group courses.
Why Group classes work
Our group classes are taught and sold as progressive courses, meaning each class builds on the last. This allows dancers to:
- Learn at a comfortable, logical pace
- Gain confidence through repetition and consistency
- Progress through material in a clear, organized sequence
While some courses allow drop-in options, we encourage students to attend as many classes within the course as possible to get the most out of the material and instruction.
Group Courses pair especially well with Private Lessons for dancers who want more personalized feedback or faster improvement.
Who Group Courses Are Best For
Group Courses are a great fit if you:
- Are new to dancing and want a supportive place to start
- Enjoy learning with others in a fun, social environment
- Want structured instruction without the pressure of private lessons
- Are looking for an affordable and consistent way to improve
No partner is required for any class, and dancers of all experience levels are welcome.
Looking for a more social experience? Many students also enjoy our Social Dances & Events, where they can practice what they’re learning in a relaxed setting.
Course Registration & Drop-In Options
You can register online or in person. Some courses have limited availability, so early registration is encouraged.
- Drop-in classes are $15
- Drop-ins are only available for select courses

We encourage all students to participate in full courses whenever possible, as they provide the most value and the best learning experience.
