Beginner-Friendly By Design

 Our Beginner and Intermediate classes run  simultaneously on Monday evenings.  Starting in November, the two classes come  together for the final 30 minutes, giving  beginners the opportunity to dance with  more experienced dancers. It's a fun,  sociable way to build skills and confidence.


All classes are held at the Churchill Recreation Centre, 345 Richmond Road, Ottawa (see map).


Classes begin in early September and go to the end of April.
