Why couples rotate too
Dancing only with each other hides mistakes, because you learn to guess what your partner wants. Rotating forces clear leading and following, and couples usually dance better together because of it.
Time together
During practice songs and at the end of class you can pair back up. Many couples also come to the Friday Social to dance with each other all night.
Registering
Each person signs up for the 4-week session separately, at $95 each.
