Our Group Classes

All my friends need to come do this on Tuesday and/or Thursday nights! I can't even express how much joy there is in ballroom dancing! I come home literally floating on air. Just think--hours NOT spent thinking about what's going on in the world. We NEED this self-care and relief from the worries of life so we can go joyful back into the fray.

We offer classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays each month. Classes are 7:30 and 8:35 (55 minutes with a 10 minute break) and run for 4 consecutive Tuesdays (or Thursdays) for a total of 8 hours of instruction in the scheduled dance style (unless otherwise noted). We have two studios at the Hancock Recreation Center and concurrently offer instruction for both beginning and more experienced dancers.

Classes meet at the Hancock Recreation Center/Golf Course, 811 E. 41st Street (map).      Preregistration is not required; neither is a partner. Payment is due on the first class of each session — cash, checks or credit/debit cards.. 

See the class schedule page for the current offering Schedules are also announced in the ABD news letter, so be sure to sign up. We sequence our classes so that you can cover 16 different dances in year (American Smooth, Rhythm & Club Dances) or as quickly as 6 months if you come for both Tuesday & Thursday lessons.
