The first hour focuses on intermediate and advanced dancers with more turns and syncopated rhythms, less step breakdown, and typically one new dance plus a review from the previous week. The second hour is tailored to absolute beginners, with clear instruction while learning several fun routines to a variety of music, usually including three to four dances, one new each week and a review of earlier lessons. The final hour suits beginner and improver levels, adding slightly more intricate, syncopated steps and turns while learning a new dance and revisiting recent material. The cost is $10 for non-members.
