• It’s time to get your toes tapping.
Choose from a wide variety of ballroom dance classes and get exercise while having fun. Learn the graceful steps of the cross-step waltz or get energized through the rumba, cha cha or salsa. Move to the romantic slow tempo of the night club two-step or bring out your inner cowboy learning the country two-step.
