Student Experience: No experience is necessary to take this class.
This introductory class will touch on various subjects from dance
floor etiquette, rhythms, history and technique of popular ballroom

Dance etiquette skills are valuable in many social situations from
Homeschool dances and proms, weddings and in relationships as they
mature. Being able to ask, accept or decline graciously helps build
self-confidence and self-esteem.
