Happy 2022. May this year continue to keep us all safe, healthy, and dancing!!
I am happy to share that, along with my private lesson bookings, my group classes are running in 2022.
As of May 2021, I was able to resume teaching my Monday, 7-8pm group class at the Rochester OPC.
It has been fantastic to be back teaching group classes!
This is a drop-in class; no pre-registration is required. The cost is $10/student, payable at the door. Exact change is appreciated. The classes are progressive; each class/series will build on the one prior as we add onto the patterns covered. No partner necessary. Ballroom shoes or dress shoes are recommended. Be sure to avoid slip-on, backless, or tennis shoes.
Covid-19 precautions: students are asked to wear masks regardless of vaccination status.
Also back in 2022, for my 15th year, I am thrilled to share that my 1-2pm Ballroom Dance Group Class at the Troy Community Class will also be resuming!
Please note the day of the week has changed! This class will be offered on Thursdays, starting March 3.
Also, the Troy Community Center is no longer allowing drop-in class formats. They require pre-registration for all classes. My Thursday 1-2pm Ballroom Classes will be run as 4-week sessions for $40/session. Registration for the session will close 1 week before the first class.

Ongoing Covid-19 precautions:
In light of the ongoing safety concerns, students and I keep our masks on, regardless of vaccination status.
As you may recall, in pre-Covid times, standard practice was that group classes involved switching partners so that every lead gets to dance with every follow and visa versa. This allows leads and follows with more/less experience to more quickly enhance their learning, and also, it promotes a deeper sense of class comradery. However, in order to promote best safety practices with respect to the pandemic:
Couples/dance partners that do not wish to change partners are being accommodated.
Therefore, any students who attend class, and do not have a set partner, can either dance with me (as a lead or follow), or pair up with a classmate who is also needing a partner for that class.
Please check out my Group Class tab for the details, dates, and dance styles from January - December 2022.
Thank you, welcome back, and I look forward to seeing more of you back on the dance floor this year!!
Namaste,
Amy
