Group dance classes are an effective and affordable way to learn basic dance steps and rhythms. Group classes also provide valuable experience dancing with other dancers on the floor. It is not required that you bring a partner with you, though some people prefer having someone consistent to learn, practice and dance with. Pictured below are several of the students who successfully completed the Level 1 Ballroom Course at their graduation dance in June 2008. Wayne Wright, owner and instructor, is seated front row, left.
Dance classes are divided into 10-week sessions throughout the majority of the year, with a shortened summer session to better accommodate vacations.
During the regular session, beginning classes are 90 minutes in length, while more advanced classes are 60-75 minutes long. Summer session class lengths are generally 75 minutes long.
