Group Class Instruction

We offer wonderful group classes, taught by Ben De La Vega, to begin your dancing enjoyment, or to increase your skills and add new dances to your repertoire.

What Makes Our Group Classes Unique

Sunday Afternoon Classes

THREE GROUP CLASS SESSIONS ARE OFFERED ON SUNDAY AFTERNOONS.  We have three 1 ½ hour group lessons offered, which focus on a dance or combination of dances.  These group sessions are limited to seven (7) couples per session and require a ten-week commitment.  A DVD for each course is offered, which allows you to remember the movements taught that week and which provide a constant source of review in the future.  There are other group sessions offered throughout the week.  To register, contact David Kemp, coordinator for these sessions, at 214.914.9700 or dkemp@kemplydick.com or Contact Us.  See our Calendar  for styles being offered in these Sunday sessions.

We offer ABSOLUTE BEGINNER sessions on Sunday afternoons from 2:30 - 4:00 p.m.  These sessions are for those who have never studied Ballroom dancing before.

Classes During the Week

ADDITIONAL GROUP CLASSES IN RHYTHM (LATIN) AND STANDARD DANCES ARE OFFERED THOUGH-OUT THE WEEK.  Each Group Program series meets once a week for 5 consecutive weeks (5 classes) and a different dance is studied in depth per 5 week series.  Students must sign up for the whole 5 week series.  Attendance is limited.  Classes do close, so you are encouraged to reserve your place in class for the specific dance.  Partners are not required; students will rotate. To join one of these group classes, or to determine which class would be best for your dancing ability, contact us or call Ben De La Vega at 972.231.7433.
