All of these dances are done with a partner. One partner does the man's side (lead). One partner does the lady's side (follow). Partners are never required for classes (except Advanced Level classes). However, equal numbers of Men to Ladies is desired. (Or "leads" to "follows" for the P.C. crowd.) We do try to rotate partners in class, but this depends on the class dynamics. Some people simply do not want to change partners. If you don't have a partner, we do try to find one for you, but we cannot guarantee one will be available who will be an acceptable match in height, shape, weight, dance skill or level, attitude, looks, hygiene, financial portfolio or age. Therefore, it is to your advantage to invite and bring your own partner who you already know and like to work with in class and practice with outside of class.

Class Levels: Beginning - "Tweener" - Intermediate - Advanced Beginning Level 1 classes require little or no dance knowledge at all. These classes are designed for the brand new dancer with no rhythm and two left feet. All you need is a sense of humor, a little patience with yourself and your partner, and a willingness to learn. These classes meet once each week for four weeks in a row, unless otherwise noted. Each subsequent class builds on the previous week's class, so it is important that you start with Class #1 and attend all the classes in the series.	Class Levels: Beginning -"Tweener" - Intermediate - Advanced "Tweener" classes "Tweener" Classes are just that - in between. These classes will hopefully help the student transition more easily and smoothly from Beginning Level 1 to a truly Level 2 and beyond class. More combinations and variety beyond the basics are added, along with necessary technique, styling and alignments of movement.	Class Levels: Beginning -"Tweener" - Intermediate - Advanced Level 2 Classes meet when there is enough interest commitment indicated to hold a class. My desire is that more beginning dancers would continue on to this level. You've already done a lot of the "hard" work in the beginning level - Let's move up and on !! These Level 2 Classes pick up where L1 and Tweener Classes left off. More material is added plus proper techinique and styling options. Therefore, It is necessary for you to already have a basic, working knowledge of the paticular dance rhythm being addressed and are comfortable with executing the basic material of that dance.	Class Levels: Beginning -"Tweener" - Intermediate - Advanced Level 3 Classes meet at the requeswt of interested students. The dance rhythm being addressed changes at the request of those participating in the class. Partners are required for these classes. These classes require a solid understanding and execution of the dance rhythm being addressed. Students in this class are at different intermediate and advance levels. Instruction varies some for each couple. Therefore, couples need to be able to work alone for a time after receiving specific instruction, help or suggestions.
