This class is for solo footwork otherwise known as Shines. Solo practice is key to improving dance skills that can be applied when partner dancing, such as footwork, arm styling, body movement, musicality, timing, and conditioning.

Monthly tuition includes the cost of the choreography, in-person classes, online classes, private Facebook group, and performances. Tuition is the same amount each month regardless if there are 5 classes or 3 classes within that month. We do not prorate for holidays, or missed classes. This works out to about $10 per hour of in-studio classes over the 6-month period.
Yes! I will be asking each member about personal preference when is comes to style and color. Costumes range from $100-$200.
