 Our intimate class sizes
offer the student more one-on-one attention from
the instructor. If you want to learn your dances
well from the very beginning - or even develop a
more in-depth knowledge as a seasoned dancer -
check out these classes coming up with Robin!
Couples and singles welcome!
If you don't see a class you want on the
schedule, there is always a way to plan a private
lesson for one couple or a small group lesson
shared with your friends. Contact Robin for pricing and
scheduling possibilities!

TEACHING
METHODS
What sets Robin apart as a dancer
is her technique, styling and her understanding
of how dancing works the way it does. What sets
her apart as an instructor is her method for
sharing that information with her students and
getting them to learn how to be good dancers
beyond just dancing steps. Robin has been praised
for being thorough, easy and patient with her
students. She also incorporates these practices
into her group classes:
- Partner Rotation:
Robin uses the practice of rotating
students in the class. Students who
enroll should be willing and comfortable
with this.
- Weekly Review:
At the top of each class, Robin conducts
a brief review of the prior week's
material. This allows the students to
refresh their memories; however, students
are expected to practice outside of class
rather than relying on that weekly
review. Students who miss a class are
encouraged to schedule a make-up session
with Robin in order to get caught up with
the class material.
CLASS
POLICIES
Just a few guidelines to keep
us gliding along... These generally apply to
monthly series that follow a syllabus.
- No drop-ins will be
allowed for the monthly series without
prior instructor approval.
- Dancers must have
completed the Level I series before
moving up to the Level II or have
approval to bump up. Simply ask us where
you fit, and we'll help place you in the
correct level!
- Each class follows a
specially designed syllabus that matches
the nationally recognized moves,
techniques and styling in that dance.
These series will tend to repeat at a
later date.
- From time to time, Robin
will offer specialty series to present
exciting and unique material!
