Classes for Beginning Dancers

Today is a great day to start dancing!

DanceWellPDX has 4 different "levels" of dance classes. 
For brand new dancers, or "Newcomers" to the social dance scene, Newcomers Intro classes are slower-paced and focus on timing and introduction to the most widely-used social dances.

Intro to Dance classes are on Thursday nights at 7pm in the Tigard studio and are usually 4-week series each month, beginning on the first week of the month.  Every month a new dance is taught, both so you can see the similarities of all dance steps, and so you can dance a little something to all the different music played at a social dance.  You are welcome to "drop-in" to a class for $10 or to pre-register for a discounted rate of $36 for the month.  Enroll for Classes

After Intro, the next class levels are:  Beginning-1 (Foundations of frame, movement and simple patterns, a faster-paced class for those who have already partner-danced a little or are quick learners.), Beginning-2 (more foundations and step patterns), and Intermediate/Advanced (more variations)

Here is the sequence of rotation in the Newcomer Intro classes:
(the current class as of August 2016 is Nightclub 2Step)

Rumba
Waltz
Cha Cha Cha

Nightclub 2Step
Foxtrot
Salsa
Tango

You are welcome to request another dance be taught as a "Newcomer" class on another night.  

Happy Dancing!
