There is a $5 Membership Fee. Not Ready to Pay? We have free 2 hour workshops on Sundays at 2pm at the Mueller Center!

Depends on the dance but we typically practice 4 to 8 hours weekly.

If you are learning a dance or are planning to teach a dance, here are a few tips to help you and your students learn faster:

1. Breakdown footwork and upper body separately, it helps a lot!
2. Frequently record yourself to catch mistakes!
3. Memorizing the song itself helps with cues and timing
4. Pay attention to your facial expressions! If you are lost, it shows*
5. Start a dance at 20-60% speed and work your way up to 100%

For beginners, a good idea is to practice common moves! For example:

1. Body Rolls
2. Head and Neck Isolations

Footwork (break-dancing footwork is semi-ubiquitous in all dances)

1. Indian Step
2. 2-step
3. Toprocking
4. Grapevine
5. Shuffling
6. Criss-cross

Handwork

2. Wrist Roll
