Levels
Basics - Great for beginners and people with no prior experience. Also a good class for anyone who wants to brush up on their technique.
Open - Open to all levels. Some prior experience is helpful. Classes will move a little faster than Basics level. It is recommended that you take a few basics level classes first before jumping into an open level class.
Intermediate - Prior experience necessary. These classes are taught on the assumption that everyone in the class knows the basic techniques for that class. The pace is a little faster and will challenge you!
Professional - For professional level dancers and anyone else who have had extensive prior experience. A great class to keep up your technique and keep you fit and healthy!
