How It Works

Come As You Are And Pay As You Go!
It's simple: you come to the class you want to take and you pay for that class.  That's it.  
No contracts, no pre-registration.  
​You don't even need to come in with your own partner.  Just walk on in as you are!
Cost? Only $10 a class!
Yep! That's right, only $10.
Cash or check is preferred, but Lisa and Nate can also accept credit cards if needed.  
​Please make checks payable to the instructor.
​
Different Levels Of Difficulty
At Hartford Ballroom, we offer a variety of class levels, ranging from beginner to advanced.  
Take whatever classes you feel the most comfortable with, and feel free to try a harder class when you feel ready!  
Our only recommendation is that you revisit easier levels to improve on what you already know.
Only One Dance Per Month​
We want you to be able to remember what you learned, so we only focus on one dance form per month. 
​Better yet, once the month is done, the dance moves up to the next level, so you can follow a dance form all the way up to advanced if you want!
Brand New?  Check Out Our Intro Class!
On Monday nights, we offer a friendly lesson designed for people who have never danced before and just want to try it out.  We teach two dances each month, and only teach you enough in those dances to get you comfortable on the dance floor.

Class Descriptions

Below is a description of each class that we teach.  Take the class that you think is best for you, and feel free to try all the different levels at your own pace.  We do, however, recommend that you don't take a class you find overwhelming, and to revisit easier levels to pick up on technical points you might have missed before.
