Group Lessons and Events
Visit our Square Store to pay online (and register at the same time) for classes and private lessons.
The lesson listing is updated about once a month, unless something unexpected happens. If you see less than a week's worth of several types of events, an update should be on its way. (We appreciate your patience as we try to keep everything up to date.)
Our typical schedule includes a Dance Party on the 2nd Saturday of odd months, Friday Beginner Workshops, Beginner Line Dance on 1st and 3rd Tuesdays, What's Next Classes and Workshops (not for beginners) on Mondays, and (seasonally) Date Night Dance Classes in Blacksburg on week nights.
