May Classes - Series / Drop-ins / Workshops

May 2012 Classes at ATOMIC Ballroom!

Feel free to jump into our Drop-in Group Classes on any week as the topics rotate each week. See our detailed calendar or just show up!

Our Monthly Series classes are progressive, which means the teacher will review the previous weeks lesson and then continue to add more over the course of 4 or 5 weeks. You may join on week 1 or week 2. All series start on the 1st week of each month.

You never need a partner. We rotate partners in all classes. Total beginners are welcome. In the beginning classes we teach to the newest dancers. In the intermediate classes we teach to the middle level of the students. In the advanced classes we teach to the best students in the class.

	New Class Times @ ATOMIC Placentia!
