(aka WCS)
Beginning & Intermediate level classes begins per the schedule posted
below at
Dance City Dance
Studio, 5318 Sparks Blvd, Sparks 89436. Each class is one night per
week, 6 weeks in length.
Sometimes, if
not enough people indicate they want a beginning WCS
class, I will substitute a Ballroom dance in place of the
WCS class -- classes sometimes offered are Cha, Hustle,
Foxtrot, Rumba, Night Club 2 Step, Waltz, or Country 2
Step.
The
Beginning (aka Novice or Level I) class consists of approximately
10-12 basic
movements of the dance being offered. This
class is usually offered through Truckee Meadows
Community College.
Registration for this class can be either first night of

demand of my students, I will teach a beginning Ballroom
dance from time to time. Note the schedule below

Partners are not required, but students are requested to try to
