Anyone can dance. If you can put one foot in front of the other, wave your arms from left to right or move your head up and down then you can dance! Dance is simply movement of the body to a rhythmic pattern. Everyone can dance, some people may just have different rhythms. That’s what makes the world so unique and exciting!
We know that most people love to dance and, given the proper environment that is encouraging, fun and respectful, you will learn valuable lessons and skills that will last a lifetime.
