Q. - What is a Demo event?
A. - At a Demo event you will be able to watch experienced dancers practice their dance, and you will get a feel for what it could be like for you to participate in our activity!
Q. - What is a Try-It opportunity?
A. - A 'Try-It' opportunity will be for anyone to learn a few basic steps of the designated dance type, no dance experience required at all!
Q. - What is an INTRO?
A. - An INTRO is more time and more in-depth than a 'Try-It' opportunity. You will be on the dance floor for approximately two hours, and get real hands on (feet on) experience! Again no dance experience is required!
