Partners are not required, but it's great if you bring one! People who come by themselves will be partnered with another person, possibly of the same gender, and if so will learn how to both lead and to follow.
Registration and advance payment are both required 24 hours prior to the first class!! A minimum of eight students for each session is needed in order for us to hold classes. Follow the sign-up button for full details:
