Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Choose an age group on the Find Your Fit page, then call 445-223-2683 to ask which class to start with..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Classes meet once a week for about an hour, in groups of 3 to 15, and each ends with a short showcase. Adult dance meets on Tuesday evenings and charges $30 a visit or $350 for a full session. The site does not say how a first class is booked, so call or email the studio first.
Tips for your first visit
