Our weekly group classes in Connecticut are designed to get you dancing and meeting new people. These classes are taught on a monthly cycle. The Beginner series starts with the foundation steps and concepts on the first week and gets more challenging during the month. The Intermediate/Advanced series introduces more complicated patterns, footwork, and musicality. The end of each night's lessons are capped with a fun dance party.
