We’re back for another month of classes and this month is extra special because we’ll be teaching two NEVER BEFORE TAUGHT AT TNS CLASSES! That’s right TWO classes that we’ve never taught before: Continuing Blues, and Core 30s/40s Charleston! We’re so excited to be adding these amazing classes to our monthly line up!

Are you ever dancing and experience one of those moments where you have no idea what to do? Music suddenly got way too fast and you can’t keep up? Find yourself in a handhold you don’t know how to get out of? Well never fear because all this month we’re going to be exploring how to tackle these “oh no” moments. We’ll be throwing down four weeks of tips, tricks and techniques that will let you glide in and out of sticky situations without ever breaking a sweat!
