Private & Small Group Lessons

“Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you’re willing to practice, you can do.”
-Bob Ross

Learn new basics or take your dancing to the next level in Lindy hop, 6-Count/East Coast Swing, Charleston or Balboa. Instructor, Mindy Barnhart would also love to help you choreograph your special wedding dances so you can step on the floor with confidence and style! We will progress at your pace and work on what YOU want to work on. You can’t go wrong here!

Please do not wear scented lotion or other synthetic fragrances to dance lessons -they make your teacher ill. Deodorant is fine. Thanks!
