How do start dates and 4-week sessions work at Dennis PaSamba Dance Company?
Dennis PaSamba Dance Company structures group classes into four-week sessions. Every four-week session has a clear start date that kicks off Week 1 of the curriculum. Starting on the official first week ensures you learn the foundational steps right alongside your classmates. You get to build your skills step by step over the course of four consecutive weeks. Group classes cost $95 for 4 weeks of structured instruction.
You never need to bring a partner to start a new four-week session. In all of our group dance classes, partners rotate constantly during the lesson. This social setup allows everyone to practice with different dancers and make new friends easily. Joining on the start date means you begin the rotation with everyone else from day one. It helps create a comfortable and welcoming group environment for all skill levels.
Registration for each monthly session opens before the scheduled start date. We encourage students to sign up early to reserve a spot in their preferred class time. Since each four-week series builds on the previous week's material, starting on Week 1 gives you the best learning experience. Text or call 717-PaSamba to check the upcoming schedule and lock in your start date for the next monthly session.
If you miss the exact start date of a four-week cycle, reach out to us right away. Depending on the class structure, we can guide you on the best time to jump in or help you reserve your place for the very next start date. Keeping session dates organized helps keep the class moving together at a steady pace. Each four-week series offers a complete block of fundamental patterns.
Our studio is located at 4820 W. Irving Park Rd. in Chicago. We are right in the Irving Park neighborhood at the Six Corners intersection. Free parking is available near the building, making it easy to arrive on time for your first class of the session.

Starting a new session is a great way to commit to a regular hobby. Group classes cost $95 for 4 weeks, giving you a full month of focused learning.
