Most of our teachers are also career dancers available to entertain you and your guests for a variety of events.

We are still working out scheduling kinks and until we can make sense of the chaos, we are typically closed Sunday and Monday and on those dates and times reserved for private musician and dance troupe rehearsals. However, the following classes are set and open to the public. For more information on the classes and dance educators, please visit our "Teachers and Performers" section.

Most of the above teachers require pre-registration. Please contact us for the most current updates on "Walk-in" or "Drop-in" classes for children and adults.

Further, we have received student requests for and are currently seeking the following: Experienced Brazilian Samba teacher (not "ballroom" samba) and East Indian dance educator. Due to a devastating car accident, our Ballet Folklorico instructor will not likely be teaching for a long while. As such, we are also seeking an experienced Mexican dance instructor.

Your qualifications must include a minimum of five years performance experience, 18 years old and up, and we will need a professional promo package on file with "current" photos and video clips of your act to show our clients.
