Beginner Mondays

Taught by Lisa Spiro every Monday evening, these classes are the perfect place for new dancers to get started!
We offer two lessons every Monday: Level 1 at 7pm, and Level 2 at 8pm.
​

Level 1 (Absolute Beginner)
Every Monday at 7 p.m.

An excellent introduction to dance.  The moves are easy and basic, and the class is slowly paced so you have time to get comfortable.  We also encourage more experienced dancers to come back to this class to practice and improve their techniques in an easy setting.
Each month we focus on one dance.  Once the month is done, that dance moves on to Level 2.
Level 2 (Advanced Beginner)
Every Monday at 8 p.m.

​An easy class that builds off of what was taught in Level 1 the previous month.   We review the basics quickly (since they were already covered in the previous class), and then move on to other easy patterns.
This is great for beginner students who want to learn a bit more, or for more experienced students who want to revisit easier steps and improve their technique.
Each month we focus on the dance that was taught in Level 1 the previous month.  Once the month is done, the dance moves on to Level 3 on Thursdays.

Cost:
$15 per person per class.  Cash or credit accepted, cash preferred.  

Other Information:
  • Each class is 45 minutes long with a 15-minute practice afterwards. 
  • You are not required to bring a dance partner as we strongly encourage rotating partners in class. 
  • Special shoes are not required, especially when you are just getting started.
  • At the end of the month, we review all the steps covered during the whole month, and you get a chance to video-record Lisa demonstrating those steps. 
    • Please keep in mind that these videos are for your own personal use only, and should not be distributed on Facebook, Tik Tok, Youtube, or other social media services without the teachers permission.

Intermediate Thursdays

Taught by Lisa Spiro every Thursday evening, these classes are great for experienced dancers looking to improve their technique and learn more complex patterns.
We offer two lessons every Thursday: Level 3 at 7pm, and Level 4 at 8pm.
Level 3 (Intermediate)
Every Thursday at 7 p.m.

This class builds upon what was taught in the Level 2 class on Mondays the previous month.  This class is great for beginner students who are ready to move on to more difficult patterns, and for experienced students who are trying to hone their technique and skills, or review patterns they've learned in the past.

Each month we focus on the dance that was taught in Level 2 the previous month.  Once the month is done, the dance moves on to Level 4.​
Level 4 (Advanced)
Every Thursday at 8 p.m.

Currently, this our most advanced class, and it builds on the dance and patterns that were taught in Level 3 the previous month.  This class is ideal for experienced dancers looking for a challenge.
Cost:
$15 per person per class.  Cash or credit accepted, cash preferred.  

Other Information:
  • These lesson are not recommended for brand-new beginners!  If you have yet to cover the basics, we strongly recommend taking the Monday beginner lessons, or taking a private lesson to catch up. 
  • Each class is 45 minutes long with a 15-minute practice afterwards. 
  • You are not required to bring a dance partner as we strongly encourage rotating partners in class. 
  • Special shoes are not required, but they are recommended for these levels, particularly if you are viewing dancing as a long-term commitment.
  • At the end of the month, we review all the steps covered during the whole month, and you get a chance to video-record Lisa demonstrating those steps. 
    • Please keep in mind that these videos are for your own personal use only, and should not be distributed on Facebook, Tik Tok, Youtube, or other social media services without the teachers permission.

Tango Tuesdays

Argentine Tango is the most improvisational of dances.  It creates a whole new level of connection between the music and the partners, as well as your relationship to yourself.  Many people who learn and really get involved with tango call it life-changing; some can even call it..... an obsession!

​
Join Nate Evans every Tuesday night as he takes you through the various forms of Argentine Tango, including, but not limited to, milonga and vals.  Enjoy the wonderful intricacies that make this dance one of the most beautiful partner dance forms in the world.

Please Note: these classes are not meant for absolute beginners.  If you are brand new to tango and looking for a beginner friendly experience, we strongly recommend taking a private lesson first.
