Bend Dance classes are fun, social, and focus on technique and connection.
You don't have to know how to dance before you come to class...I'll teach
you. Dancing is a learned hobby, like snowboarding or violin. All you need are 2 feet (even if they're
both left) and a desire to learn something new and meet cool people. You never need a partner for these
classes, we'll have an even number of leads & follows and we'll rotate partners in class.
Classes start the first week of every month and require pre-registration by phone or email with Victoria.
When you register you'll get the address of Victoria's home studio. See below for details and cost.

Cancellation Policy
This is a small, personal business and most classes are limited on space so I don't give refunds if you cancel with 72 hours of the beginning of a series. Hope you understand!
==========================================================================================
Private Lessons in Salsa or Swing are a great way to improve your lead/following
technique, work on styling, or just learn the basics in a more comfortable
one-on-one environment. Victoria focuses mostly on technique since you
can then transfer your good technique to any new moves you learn in group
classes. You can do private lessons with a partner or by yourself. Bring
a notebook and take notes. A blend of group classes and private lessons
are highly recommended for those who want to take their partner dancing
to a higher level!
$45/hour for single or couple.
Semi-Private lessons can be arranged for small groups...call for rates
and address.
Held in Victoria's Studio in SW Bend.

A Dance Performance or Class can be a fun addition to special events,
private parties, or company get-togethers. Spice things up a bit or give
people an excuse to get out of their shells! Victoria works with you to
figure out what would work best for your event, whether it's a formal
performance or a casual 20-minute class just to get people moving. Prices
vary, depending on the event but usually range from $100-$250/event or
$10-$15/person.
Call or email Victoria to book an event or just chat about options.
