If you’re stepping onto the dance floor for the first time, you’ll discover that dancing enhances your happiness and you’ll be glad you joined us!

  • Group Classes:
    We offer group classes in all forms of Swing Dancing including:

    East Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, West Coast Swing and Balboa.

    Our Ballroom classes vary. While we are currently teaching Freestyle Foxtrot, we often teach Waltz, Foxtrot, Cha-Cha and Rumba as well.

    We also have specialty Dance Workshops that rotate into the schedule throughout the year in Salsa, Tango, Hustle, Country Western & More!

    Group classes are $25.00 per person per class, or you can purchase a Series Card for a discounted price listed with each class.

    Tailored to your individual goals, private lessons provide one-on-one attention for a personalized learning experience. Whether you want to prepare for a special event, fast-track your progress, or focus on specific dance styles, private lessons are available at $100 per hour (for one or two people).

No partner? No problem! You’ll have the opportunity to dance with many others in our group classes.

Bringing a partner? Your choice if you would like to rotate in the classes, (change partners), or not. We’re happy either way.
