Doors open at 6pm for an evening of pre-class warmth and camaraderie. Arrive early to indulge in the delectable dinner offerings from The Abbey Bar menu and sip on your favorite drinks while mingling with friends old and new.
Our classes do not require a partner as we usually rotate in group classes.
We encourage people to rotate to learn the art of social dancing. We do not force this, but think it is important for learning and growing as a dancer. It is a great way to meet people.
Getting Started with the Basics classes are all levels and great for new dancers! Often students attend our progressive classes for many consecutive months in order to develop a better understanding of these dance styles, continually build skills for more fun on the social dance floor, and for being part of our community that truly enjoys learning together.
