My personal classes build progressively from Basic to Pre-Intermediate and to the most advanced levels.They are designed to make you a better social dancer and connection with your partner and with the music is something we stress heavily. Lastly, these dances are traditionally danced to big bands, so the music you will hear in these classes will be swingin.Remember, The goal is to get out and have fun on the dance floor with your partner.
