Each Class is $10.00.

Beginner Level I-II from 7-8 p.m.:  this class will be geared to the debutant in Latin American dance. They will teach the basic figures and action that characterize this flirtatious, rhythmical dance, and emphasize the social nightclub styling.  Basic action, simple spins, and underarm turns, as well as leading and following will be the focus.  Dancers of all skill levels are welcome, but no experience or partner is required.

Intermediate Level  I from 8-9 p.m.: this class is geared to the Latin American dancer who is proficient in the basic actions, leading/following, and figures of Cha Cha.  They will build on popular figures, and make them spicy with variations in turns, spirals, and more challenging spins.  Social nightclub cha cha will be the focus.  All levels of dance are welcome but the dancer should be comfortable with the basics. If you are a beginner, you may take both classes if you are up to the challenge.  No partner required.
