Our Mission

We believe that dance is more than just steps and whether you are a beginner or a seasoned dancer, we aim to provide fun, engaging classes and activities that will allow you to experience all the benefits that dance has to offer! Join our friendly dance community.

Dance Classes

We offer a variety of classes that cater to all levels, budgets and schedules. Group classes, workshops and private lessons are all great ways to get started, brush up your technique, improve your style and take your dancing to the next level.

Social Parties & Events

Parties and events are a great way to practice and enjoy your dancing with fellow dancers who are friendly, helpful and welcoming. It’s a great night out whether you come by yourself or with friends and for couples, it’s a great idea for date night.

Wedding Dance Prep

There are so many ways dance can enhance your wedding. Preparing the “first dance” is a beautiful way for a couple to start their journey together. Lessons for the bridal party and parents allow everyone the opportunity to have fun on the dance floor.
