Here is some additional information for you new dancers.

Arrive early to check in at the front desk on the West side of the building so you will be on time to begin your class. Drop-ins are $5 at the door or you can buy a FOB (punch card) It costs $45 for 10 classes saving you $.50 per class. They don't expire if you miss a class.

History

On February 9, 2023 the first Beginner class was taught at the
Lenexa Community Center. Since then, the students wanted to move to
the next level called Improver. This class still starts at 1:15 on Thursdays.

Our New Beginner class began March 6, 2025. The activity center was renovated and now is called the Lenexa Old Town Activity Center.
The Beginner class starts at 2:30 on Thursdays. Basic steps are taught
at an absolute beginner level.
