Classes range from Salsa/Mambo ON 2, Merengue, Bachata, Cha-Cha, Belly dance, Ballroom, Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Modern, Lyrical, Tango, Brazilian Samba, Break Dance, Burlesque, Zumba, Dance Fitness, and Pole Dancing. Both Dance Studios consist of lush waiting areas with viewing windows, 3 to 4 fully equipped ballrooms, spacious changing areas with storage shelves, Dance Boutiques, an office for private consultation for Weddings, Sweet Sixteen, and all special events. Our dedication to teaching dance is evident by both the joy and skill seen in our students. Many students have gone on to compete and perform in some of the countries most prestigious events. One of the founding beliefs of our program is that dance teaches important social values. Our students learn not only how to be graceful, coordinated, and poised, but how to be self-disciplined, self-confident, and cooperative as well. Along with attaining more refined manners and better posture our students also leave the studio with an education in different cultures. Students gain insight into other cultures through their study of dances. This cultural education is further supplemented by our own multicultural staff and student body. For all these reasons (and many more) we believe involvement in partner dance is one of the greatest ways to boost a person's self-esteem.
