The good news

You need none of this.

No experience

The course starts from absolute zero. Timing, steps, turns — all of it from scratch.

No dance background

Never taken a dance class in your life? You're exactly who this is built for.

No partner

Most people come alone. We rotate partners in class, so everyone dances with everyone.
