Santa Barbara, CA 93110
(*) Park around the building on the spots marked WAC.
What to wear:
First, a smile! You're supposed to have fun in class. Wear comfortable clothes that are not too loose so you can see the moves on your body: workout or yoga pants, a tank top, tee-shirt or a leotard, and a hip scarf for your hips. Coin hip scarves will be available for purchase in class.
Most dancers enjoy dancing barefoot. But for those who wish to wear foot covering, I suggest soft-soled dance shoes like ballet slippers and jazz shoes (Hermes sandal is also an option).

8-class session paid in full by May 13th - $91 (get 1 class free!)
8-class session paid in full on or after May 14th - $104
