We Teach People how to dance quickly and correctly.
In couple's dancing there's a Leader and a Follower. In addition to teaching 'Steps', we teach people how to dance together and enjoy dancing with their partner. Have fun dancing at a downtown pub. Learn a special dance for your wedding, or dance at someone else's wedding. Dance the night away on your next Cruise. Arrange a dance event for your organization or a group class for your employees to enhance Teamwork and Morale.
Benefits Beyond Simple Exercise. Dancing is a sport that gives you many benefits: it's a great exercise for mind, body and spirit, it a special way to enjoy being together with another person, and it's a fantastic opportunity to meet like minded people at Social Dance Events. These are all important elements of a healthy, well-balanced, well-lived life. There's no better way to achieve all these, and more than through dance.
