Our dance services include privates lessons for competitors and social dancers, open and private group classes, choreography and music editing. Please contact us to learn more about our services and fees. 


​​​​​​​​Private Lessons for Competitive Dance

We have many years experience coaching Couples and Individuals (Pro Am) in UCWDC competitive dance. We provide routines for all 8 UWCDC dances from Newcomer to Advanced suitable for Couples and Pro Am. Frequently Couples will also choose to compete in Pro Am to accelerate their Couples dance skills. 


Private Lessons for Social Dance

Not everyone wants to compete. You may just want to improve your lead follow skills and gain a deeper understanding of the dances you already know. You may want to improve a particular skill or learn a new dance. If you are an absolute beginner group classes can be daunting and intimidating. Private lessons are a great way to learn and accelerate your  dance basics  and foundational skills so you feel confident to take group classes.


Open Group Classes

These are classes that are typically offered weekly for a particular dance and  skill level. Contact us to hear about out next class or series.


Private Group Classes

Many times there are a group of friends or family that want to take a series of dance classes together. They may be getting ready for a wedding, some other event or simply want to start dancing socially. 


Choreography
We offer choreography services for competitive dance or special occasions including wedding dances. We can look at your current choreography to optimize content and phrasing.


Music Editing

Music editing is used extensively to modify a song for Competition, Weddings or Showcase events. Modifications include:

- Slowing down or speeding up songs to make them more danceable

- Cutting the length of the song to a particular amount of time

- Cutting and splicing to highlight interesting parts of the song

- Adding voiceovers and sound effect

- Create a medley by combining songs, voiceovers and sound effects​​
