Classes

The team offers Social and Team classes.

Team classes are geared towards those, with or without prior experience, who would like to learn to compete in collegiate and amateur competitions. There are both beginner and intermediate levels, and in neither level are partners required. These classes are taught by friendly, experienced, nationally respected instructors.

Social classes are for people who are interested in learning ballroom dance in a relaxed and non-competitive atmosphere, and plan to use it primarily in club and social situations. Social classes are ideal for beginners who have no dance background, but would like some exposure and learn the basics of the dance. There is a variety of general and specialized dance classes that meet once a week.

TEAM CLASSES cost $80 per semester or $150 per year for undergraduate students. For GU affiliated persons, they cost $90 per semester or $170 per year. For all others, team classes cost $100 per semester or $190 per year. Those taking beginner and intermediate classes at the same time, get 50% off their second class. Classes run for 12 weeks each semester (with no classes being held during breaks). Unfortunately we cannot give refunds due to University financial policies, so please try classes out before you register - this is part of the reason we offer a free two-week trial period.

The first two weeks of class at the beginning of each semester are FREE. Students are encouraged to come and try the classes out. Club officers will be available at the classes to register new members during the two trial weeks. Registration closes at the end of the trial period and at that point no new registrations will be accepted. The purpose for this policy is so that the class is not held back by late arrivals to a class which has already met several times.

Check Policy - If your check bounces, there will be a $20 fee. If you bounce a check second time, you will not be able to pay the team with a check for a period of one year.
