Refresher DISCOUNT Specials!

Here's a little secret you might not know:
Most of the top dancers you see on the floor have repeated dance classes several times or taken private lessons to get as good as they are! It's a common mistake among new dancers to label themselves as "slow", just because they may not have learned the class material completely the first time around. But few people can absorb everything the first time they take a class! You're thinking about where your feet go, where your arms go…memorizing the pattern…not running into people! So it's natural to miss important details, even though we may stress them several times.

 

There's no embarrassment in repeating a class: it's actually very smart - and we offer BIG discounts when you do!
When you repeat a class as a "refresher", you're in a better frame of mind! You already know the pattern, freeing you to think more about your lead, follow and connection! Just ask your fellow students - many have enjoyed big improvements after taking "refresher" classes. We offer DISCOUNTS on any class you repeat (up to $10, depending upon the class.) Just make sure to let us know it's a refresher class for you, when you register, so we can include your discount!    

  

Pass us along to your friends or Family

Do you have a friend, wife, Husband or special someone that you would like to get into dancing? Well just forward this Web Site onto them, give us their mailing information or buy them a Gift Certificate to get them started. With your help they will finally learn how much fun dancing is.
