Getting Started:
 
 
Beginner Lessons:

Each dance has an intro lesson: this is usually enough to get you started dancing.  Some people keep attending the intro lessons and can pick up a lot of variety at them since the teachers tend to rotate.

See the Dances page for more information on which dances have free lessons.
 

 
  
Series Lessons:

Some people choose to sign up for series lessons which provides a lot more detail in usually smaller groups than the free intro lessons.  Series lessons are usually spread out over a 4-6 week period.
