We love dancing with friends! For 2 weeks at the beginning of each season, we welcome students to “Bring-a-Friend” to class with them FOR FREE!
This is a fun opportunity for students to bring a non-enrolled friend to open classes. Your student’s instructor will provide the class with class passes for their friends. The friend must submit the class pass to the instructor completely filled out in order to attend.
Bring-a-Friend is available for classes that have openings as we are unable to accommodate the space in closed classes. Please review the Bring-a-Friend schedule below for our available classes. We hope these 2 weeks will be a lot of fun for all! We look forward to meeting new friends!
