Dances

We offer lessons in American style ballroom dancing at various levels, from newcomer through advanced. We also like to mix in lessons in a few different social dances.


Dues

Meaghan McSherry & Loyola Pasiewicz

Dues are $25 per student per semester. You don't have to pay until the end of the third Monday you attend so there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t try it out a couple of times and see how much fun dancing can be! The $25 entitles you to attend all of the Monday night classes and Thursday night practice sessions, as well as our social dances our competition in February. One-on-one coaching sessions may also be available for an additional fee for those who want to learn more or need a little help with the latest steps and patterns.


Mentors

As mentioned above, additional help is available in the form of privately coached lessons with a certified dance instructor for a very small fee. However, there may be times when it isn’t practical for you to schedule a lesson with an instructor or you simply don’t have the time. Holy Cross Ballroom Dance also offers mentoring to students. This is when a fellow student or member of the team who has been dancing for at least two years works with you individually or together with a partner to answer questions and help with your dancing.
