American Smooth/Rythm

​American Rythm:
​Unfortunately, we are not able to offer American Rhythm classes this semester due to s
cheduling difficulties, 
but we hope to offer them again in the future!
​
We primarily teach the International styles of ballroom dance in our club, but sometimes offer classes in either American Smooth or Rhythm. Smooth is the American style counterpart to Standard, and Rhythm is similar to Latin. The classes are usually intermediate level and focus on introducing American style to those who already have some basic knowledge of the International dances.

All weekly classes are cumulative. You'll be able to drop in and out of class the first couple of weeks of Newcomer classes without a problem, but expect them to build on themselves after that.

We have a wide range of in person classes at multiple levels for all ballroom styles. (You can see descriptions of what we usually teach below.)
