Course Description: 

ALL ages

Come learn group, partner and line dances for FUN! We will learn dances from history, dances from cultures around the world, and even some popular modern dances that you can do at events like weddings. 

Dress for movement with shoes that will stay on your feet (no crocs or slides, no bare feet or socks only). Sneakers work well.

Students ages 8 and younger must have a parent or guardian in the room during the entire class. Family members of all students are encouraged to stay and are welcome to dance with us! No experience needed, but enrolled students must be willing to participate. This is truly a class for all ages to have fun together.

Family Dance Syllabus

*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
