Country Two Step Accelerated Intro Class with Ballroom College!

These three-hour blasts of learning are your chance to explore new dance styles or brush up on old favorites!

Led by David, our studio manager, and supported by Ballroom College's Assistant Teachers, each class promises a unique blend of fun and focused instruction. Whether you're stepping onto the dance floor for the first time or revisiting styles you've missed, we've designed these immersive classes to elevate your skills in an easy and fun environment.

To keep the groove going, every dancer will leave with a video recap of the day's choreography, making it easy to practice at home. Plus, we'll hook you up with a curated list of spots around Chicago where you can show off your new moves or dive deeper into learning more.

Join us to move, groove, and improve every month!

Cost: $60 per person

**IMPORTANT NOTES**

- Classes are 3.5 hours total. 3 hours of active dancing with 30 mins of built in breaks.

- Dancers are welcome to join us for one or both weeks, though we strongly suggest brand new dancers start during a Week 1 to build a solid foundation.

- No partner required!

- We try to accommodate your preference to learn leader or follower parts, but this will depend on the makeup of each workshop. If learning the leader or follower is vitally important for you, we recommend you find a friend to bring along!

Swing Accelerated Intro Class with Ballroom College!

These three-hour blasts of learning are your chance to explore new dance styles or brush up on old favorites!

Led by David, our studio manager, and supported by Ballroom College's Assistant Teachers, each class promises a unique blend of fun and focused instruction. Whether you're stepping onto the dance floor for the first time or revisiting styles you've missed, we've designed these immersive classes to elevate your skills in an easy and fun environment.

To keep the groove going, every dancer will leave with a video recap of the day's choreography, making it easy to practice at home. Plus, we'll hook you up with a curated list of spots around Chicago where you can show off your new moves or dive deeper into learning more.

Join us to move, groove, and improve every month!

Cost: $60 per person

**IMPORTANT NOTES**

- Classes are 3.5 hours total. 3 hours of active dancing with 30 mins of built in breaks.

- Dancers are welcome to join us for one or both weeks, though we strongly suggest brand new dancers start during a Week 1 to build a solid foundation.

- No partner required!

- We try to accommodate your preference to learn leader or follower parts, but this will depend on the makeup of each workshop. If learning the leader or follower is vitally important for you, we recommend you find a friend to bring along!

- Rotating partners is essential to your overall learning and dancers will rotate during the social "try it out" portions of the workshop.
