The student will dance with the primary teacher, while the coach provides an outside perspective. Please see the "Group Classes" page for locations.
Workshops and Groups Classes: Group classes are on a weekly basis, designed to teach students patterns, lead and follow, general technique and musicality. You'll change partners in the class to further develop your partnering skills. Group lessons are an excellent supplement to private lessons to aid in review and pratice before your next private. Workshops are on a specific topic, usually once a month or every other month. Generally a bit longer than a group class to devote enough time to explore the specialized topic.
