POLYNESIAN

Come learn to sway da Island way! A unique and fun, yet serious class. Pacific Island dances tell a story with the hands, while feet and hips keep rhythm to the beat. The culture and history of these island people are rooted in their dance and music. Students are taught the traditional language, history, dances and songs of these diverse islands of Polynesia. Fun for all ages from Keiki (Child) 5 years to Makua (Adult).

BRAZILIAN

Our Afro-Brazilian dance class is a lively blend of several Brazilian dance styles. It is an up-beat, high energy work out driven by the tantalizing beats of Brazil including samba, samba reggae, maracatu, coco, ile aye and afoxe. Classes are taught on a drop-in basis, so there is no need to attend all classes.
