Our typical schedule includes Friday Beginner Workshops, Line Dancing on 1st and 3rd Tuesdays, What's Next Classes and Workshops (not for beginners) on Mondays, and (seasonally) 4-Hour Group Classes on various week nights.

	Dance Party Free for first-timers! (because we like you) Class-By-Request Evening Social Saturday, October 10, 7:00 pm - 10:30 pm Mark you calendars for our next Social! We’ll be starting the evening with a lesson (style TBA) - great for beginners and still exciting for advanced dancers. No experience or partner necessary – just bring your enthusiasm and your dancing shoes! Join fellow dancers, young, old, experienced, and shiny new for an evening of good food, good friends, good times, great music, and incredible dancing. Bring a snack to share and earn our eternal appreciation. Location: Sapphire Studio Price: Free for anyone who hasn't been to a Sapphire Dance Party ~ $10/general admission ~ Early registration is super helpful.     Pay online and register at the same time at Sapphire's Square Store.     Registration by noon the day of the event required. We will accommodate late registrations when we can. Prerequisite: While everyone is welcome, Socials are intended for those who have already taken a few lessons - Friday Beginner Workshops, Line Dance Classes, or private lessons. If you know at least a step or two in any dance style, you'll be able to pick up more at the party. No one dances to all the music at a social, so don't worry if you don't know much. Watching can be fun and so can meeting other Sapphire students! The pre-dance lesson is beginner friendly and will include something shiny and cool. Read more about Class-By-Request.
