Dance builds confidence, creates friendships, and brings people together. That has been our purpose since 2008.

Your first-class questions.

Do I need a dance partner?

No. Many students come by themselves. We rotate partners during many group classes so everyone can learn and meet other dancers.

Can I join as a complete beginner?

Yes. Beginner classes start with the basics and explain each movement clearly. No previous dance experience is needed.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothes and shoes that stay secure on your feet. Avoid shoes that grip the floor too strongly.

Group classes or private lessons?

Group classes are social and budget-friendly. Private lessons move at your pace and focus on your goals. Many students enjoy both.

Where are classes held?

Locations can vary by program. Check your class page for its current Knoxville location and schedule, or contact us.
