Every year we provide dance lessons for hundreds of students and community members. After learning a few tricks, we encourage everyone to dance at our social parties, tryout for our spring show and compete at competitions around the Midwest.
Our goals are:

· To let people show off what they’ve learned
· To have a heck of a lot of fun
