Social Dancing

If competitions are not on your list of priorities, but you really want to go out there and move gracefully to the music, solo or with a partner, our SOCIALLY ORIENTED PROGRAMS are the best way to start!!
For our social groups we currently offer four unique-style programs:

Basics of Solo Latin American Dancing (class meets every Tuseday at 7.30pm)
Syllabus of Solo Latin American Dancing (class meets every Tuesday at 8.15pm) These classes study technical elements of Cha cha cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble and Jive. The program of these classes is similar to our professional and pre-professional classes, but is significantly simplified, so it can be easily digested by a newcomer, and still you get a real DanceSport experience!! Class is suitable for people 16+

Dance Teams (class meets every Monday at 1.15pm and every Friday ay 10.30am) These are special classes for dancers willing to perform at showcases and similar events.
Latin and Ballroom couples (class meets every Monady at 8pm) This class studies basics of the most popular dances - Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Cha cha, Samba, Rumba etc. Class is limited to 3 couples.

Also we offer a wide variety of private programs, including Wedding dance choreography.

Our dancers are available for a special treat to your event guests - they can perform a Latin or Ballroom dance show and teach you and your friends a movement or two.

And don't forget that dance lessons and classes can make a great gift! Certificates for any amount can be obtained at the studio or via email dance@nikadanceacademy.com.
