Regular classes are taught in Class Sessions throughout
the year. Each Class Session consists
of one 60 minute lesson per week for each week of the session.
Sessions vary in length from 4 to 8 weeks.
Sometimes sessions accept
drop-in attendance. To get notified of Class
Session dates join the mailing
list.
No partner
required, singles and couples welcome. Unless indicated
otherwise, these are adult classes,
but teens
are welcome to attend. In general, partners
are rotated during classes, which is helpful in learning, plus
a fun way to meet classmates. For couples who would prefer not
to switch partners, that is fine as well.
Pre-registration is highly recommended for all Class Sessions
either by email or phone.
Payment can be made in advance by credit
card, PayPal or check;
or on the day of class by cash, credit card or check.
You can also enroll at the first or second week
of a session, just arrive 15 minutes before class time to
allow time to register and make payment. Class
Sessions are
closed to enrollment after week 2.
For classes that accept drop-in attendance just turn up and pay
at the studio on a class by class basis. Please arrive 15 minutes
before class time to allow time to check-in.
If you are new to K2 Dance Studio and would like to try
out a class, you may register and if you decide not to take the Class
Session contact K2 before
the start of the second lesson for a refund (less $13). Otherwise,
there are no refunds for missed classes when registered for a Class
Session. The
instructors are always happy to help in deciding which level is
the best fit.
SHOES:
Please be sure to bring soft-soled dance
shoes or clean dry sneakers (smoother soles have less traction
and are better, allowing for easy turning). No hard
soled, or black rubber soled shoes that leave marks. Please
change shoes on the entrance mat to help prevent
outside wet, salt and grit from getting on the wooden floor.
Private Lessons for individuals,
couples and groups are available by arrangement, just contact K2.
Ballroom dancing is fun for people who wish to learn to dance
at social gatherings, such as parties and weddings. Dances
covered include Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango, Quick Step, Rumba,
Cha Cha, Samba, Mambo, Salsa, Jive and Paso Doble.
Salsa evolved in the clubs of Latin communities such as in New York City and
Florida. It grew out of a mixing of Mambo and Hustle. Mambo is the dance that
came to popular attention in the '40s as Americans became fascinated with the
exciting rhythms emanating from Latin countries such as Cuba. For the mood
of Mambo, just think Havana in its heyday and the famous Palladium dancers
of NYC in the '40s, '50s and '60s. Hustle was born
in New York's Latin community where young Latinos wanted to dance to more contemporary
music than the Mambo of their parents. Out of these dances was born Salsa.
