Have fun sharing your time with other people, doing beautiful dances to great music, while learning how to dance. The best exercise for your mind, body and soul.

You do not need a real partner. Imaginary partners are fine, possibly better.

Let me know what you would like to do, such as other levels of instruction, other dances, other formats for the dance sessions or dancing on other days or times.

The sessions are aimed at Beginner Intermediate level dancers. You do not need to be experienced in these particular dances. You should have some dance experience.

If you are a Novice dancer, let me know so we can schedule sessions for you and other Novice dancers.

Share your feedback. We are learning as we are going on how to do online dance sessions.

You can join the online meeting 10 minutes early to chat with others. The dancing starts exactly on time. You can stay online after the meeting to chat with others until I get home and end the meeting.

Payment Options

The Cost is:
$5.50 per session, or $22 per month, by credit card, or
$5 per session, or $20 per month by bank transfer, check or debit

When you pay for one session, you are invited to attend the other regular sessions on the same day as my guest, at no charge.

When you pay by the month, this includes all the regular sessions that month on any day.

If you have two people sharing the same online session, only pay for one person.

As usual, if financial considerations are keeping you from dancing, if you just want to try out the session, if you just want to watch, pay whatever you want or participate as my guest, no charge.

To pay by check, contact me for the mailing address.

Or send payment to andrewweitzen@gmail.com via any payment method that works. Here are some:

Dance Joke

A guy goes to see his doctor.

The doctor says to him, "Look, you have got to stop constantly dancing."

The doctor says, "So I can examine you."
