Personal Enrichment Classes

Join other beginners in fun-filled classes where you'll learn the basic dance steps, or brush up on what you already know. In the six week sessions you'll learn the foxtrot, swing, and waltz as well as other social dance steps. The physical activity, mental stimulation & social interaction are the added bonuses of this fun sport. Dancing can improve circulation, burn calories, increase stamina & can help prevent or slow loss of bone mass & in turn, ward off illnesses. Mentally, dancing is a great stress-reliever. Life's pressures simply melt into the background. You'll meet new people, gain self-confidence & have a great time too!
