THE DANCES - Our lessons are based on the International Latin (Cha-Cha, Rumba, Samba, Paso Doble, Jive) and Standard (Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep, Viennese Waltz) dances. We start our lessons from the basic, so if you have no prior experience, we are here to help!
THE LESSONS - We offer two types of class a week: Basic and Competitive. Lessons with include teaching beginners moves, timing and all other basic elements of dances. We also provide more in-depth techniques and advanced figures to prepare you for upcoming competitions and for you to show off your skills on the dance floor. There will be open practice time for you to review all that you've learned or to catch up with lessons that you miss.

THE COMPETITIONS - Our competition team participates in various competitions throughout the year. We offer sponsorship to offset expense to out-of-state competitions. All competitions have levels ranging from Newcomer to Championship, and you register for the dances you want to perform. You are not obligated to join the competition team. However, it is a great opportunity for you to train with international professionals, travel with the team for a very low cost and make amazing friends along the way.
