The Unit System
-
Private Lessons
One-on-one instruction is essential for learning quickly and easily.
Private lessons are personalized by what you are taught, how you are taught, and the pace at which you are taught.
Whether you want to work up a sweat or take it easy, stand out on the floor or blend in with the crowd, we’ll customize a lesson just for you.
-
Group Classes
Group instruction is perfect for muscle memory and repetition.
Group class allows you to practice with a variety of partners. This ensures great dancing habits, good lead and follow, and the chance to meet other students in the studio.
While there are always plenty of people to dance with, you are by no means required to change partners.
-
Practice Parties
Your chance for practical application, before hitting the dance floor
Practice parties are a great way to practice all you’ve learned on your private lessons and group classes.
A chance to get comfortable dancing with others on the floor, to a variety of music, and with a variety of partners; all with the instructors there to help you work out any kinks.
New Students
