Every week is fresh, exciting, and unique! Expect new performers, different dance schools, and a brand new atmosphere every time. Everyone is welcome, whether you're a seasoned dancer, a student, or stepping onto the dance floor for the first time. The focus is social fun, no heels or sequins required! ​
