Classes and Workshops

Private Lessons:
Private lessons offer students (individuals or couples) one-on-one attention with a Panache instructor. Private lessons provide students with the opportunity to get more personalized dance instruction, which generally results in better technique and quicker learning on the dancer's part.  Couples also benefit greatly from private lessons, because they can learn how to lead and follow more effectively, thus allowing the couple to dance better together. Private lessons are also great for students who would like to prepare a showcase number, such as for a wedding dance
, or for performances within the studio.  To set up a free 30-minute introductory lesson, call or e-mail Panache to set up a time! 

Beginner Group Lessons (Bronze I and II):
Beginner classes are designed for new dancers who wish to get more in-depth instruction in one kind of dance. If students attend a month's worth of beginner's group lessons, they will have a good vocabulary of moves and technique that they can use to socially dance the form they have learned.


Intermediate Group Lessons (Bronze III and IV):
Intermediate group lessons are designed for students who have learned the basic technique and moves in a particular dance, and are ready to get more in depth, and learn more figures.

Silver or Gold Workshops with Tom Slater:
Join World Champ Tom Slater for these advanced dance workshops.  Tom Slater focuses not only on teaching more advanced patterns, but also how to properly lead and follow these patterns with style, using his "Body Mechanics" system.  Besides silver and gold patterns, Tom also occasionally teaches tricks, dips, and drops for more advanced dancers.


Kids Group Lessons:
Kids' lessons are designed for both boys and girls ages 7-12.  Kids in this class often go on to participate in showcases at the studio, and are also encouraged to attend our dance parties as well.  Panache is very proud of the wonderful kids that are learning so many different styles of partner dance. 


Dancefit Classes (Zumba, Bollywood, and Hip-Hop):
Dancefit classes are high-energy choreographed aerobics classes designed to get students to have so much fun dancing that they don't even realize how great a workout they're getting.  All new students will get into their first Dancefit class for free.  Come wearing tennis shoes, workout clothes, and a smile, and get ready to get the party started!


Dance Parties:
Generally, parties are preceded by an introductory lesson, where new dancers can get a basic understanding of a dance before the party begins.  New students are encouraged to attend, because learning to socially dance will help you to remember and learn how to lead and follow the dances you've been working on.



Dance Workshop Series:
Panache also hosts special workshops, sometimes featuring guest instructors in a specific specialty.  You can see what workshops we have coming up, sign up for and pay for workshops on this website.
