Dance Classes for 2011-2012

GET READY 'CAUSE HERE WE COME!. . .

We've been working hard this summer on a new line-up and schedule for our dance classes, and it's finally done. We're again changing our class structure. We've heard in the past that an entire month on one dance was too long. . . Last year we tried one dance each week, which turned out to be too short. This year we will explore the use of two weeks per dance (giving you two different dances per month). PLEASE NOTE: Basic Class will stay the same (one dance per week).

We are also pleased to announce that we will be adding a Basic Class at Center Stage Dance Academy in Churubusco, IN on Wednesdays (6-7:00 PM, Intermediate 7-8:00 PM). You will find all our class locations with quick links to their respective websites below.
