Thank you for taking an interest
in dancing & welcome to our classes. If this is your first experience dancing,
we're sure you'll enjoy the Beginning Classes we offer. If you have danced
before, hopefully, we'll give you some new moves, polish your technique or help
you develop your own style of dancing. We offer a variety of classes to allow
everyone an opportunity to learn at your own pace.
WHERE & WHEN ARE CLASSES HELD: Beginning & Intermediate classes for
Couples Only & Singles
are held on Tuesday evenings at the Full Circle Venue, 1010 Diers Avenue,
K-Mart Plaza in Grand Island.
For Group Classes, everyone is required to change partners throughout the
class. Changing partners will greatly enhance your leading and following
skills and help introduce you to all of the other couples and singles learning
to dance. Classes
on Tuesdays are 40 minutes in length and run in 4 week sessions ~ we know other
things come up, but please try to attend each week. Tuesday classes will be 40 minutes in
length and classes are at 6:30, 7:15, 8:00 & 8:45.
If we have enough couples pre-registered, Couples Only Intermediate classes
are on Wednesdays at Third City Taekwondo,
210 W 2nd Street in Grand Island.
All new dancers to DanceSteps
must start with Beginning Class
unless you have talked to one of the instructors first. Beginning Dancers
need approval from instructors before moving onto Beginning/Intermediate
and Intermediate classes. Wednesday Couples Only classes are at
7:00 & classes will be 55 minutes in length and we will not change partners.

DO’s for Dance Class:
*Do try to attend each week once you start a 4 week session
*Come to class about 5 minutes early so we can start on time
*Wear leather soled shoes
*Introduce yourself to each new partner ~ Singles are welcome unless it is noted
as a Couples Only class
*Try to learn all of the dances we teach ~ they’re all fun
*Practice at least 5 minutes each day ~ you don’t need a partner for this
*Listen to many kinds of music to see what type of dance you would do to it
*Ask instructors for a play list of music for you to purchase and practice to
*Refer friends/family to DanceSteps ~ you can earn a FREE 30 minute private
lesson
*Remember dancing is fun ~ go to dances and meet some new friends
*If you miss one of the group classes, try to schedule a private lesson to learn
what you missed
*Schedule private lessons ~ great way to improve your dancing skills &
understand the technique of leading/following much better
*Schedule private lessons in conjunction with your group classes
DON’Ts for Dance Class:
*Don’t wear sneakers or rubber soled shoes
*Don’t “teach” during class ~ let the instructors do that
*Don’t be late for class
*Don’t move onto Intermediate classes unless you check with the instructor
*Don’t limit yourself to one style of dancing or only to one style of music
While you participate in group classes & get to know our wonderful group of
dancers, we want you to know we are available for private lessons. Whether you want to perfect a certain move or just improve your
overall dancing ability, private lessons are designed for one on one
instruction. Private lessons are tailored to your individual needs. Remember,
the better you know the basics, the more fun you will have dancing. If you see
someone dancing & you like the way they look, remember it normally has taken
many years to reach that level of dancing.
NOTE ~ We reserve the right to cancel classes because of low attendance, weather
or when instructors are on vacation or at conventions.
