or a professional will enjoy dancing to various styles of music.
Tap
Learn dance through musicality and sound. Develop timing and rhythm by
learning a variety of steps that evolve into patterns and combinations.
Swing
Escape back to the Big Band Era, or to the nearest swing club. This
partner dance is always energizing yet smooth, and guaranteed to make an
impression.
Latin
Dive into the Latin craze and learn hot, sizzling moves from the dance styles of
merengue, salsa, cha cha, rhumba, and tango.
Irish Step
The grace of the slip jig and the percussive rhythms of the heavy reel leave the
Irish Step offering any dancer the best of both worlds. This form can be
easily compared to tap and ballet, however, its cultural roots stand alone.
