You do not need a dance partner! We welcome individuals, friends dancing together, and couples. We will integrate single dancers.
If you are taking, or have taken lessons with Tom and Isabelle, then please consult our list of video demonstrations of dance figures so you can practice at home and refresh your repertoire as the years go by.

Write to Tom to submit your material. We need a short story and picture about lessons and locations, and a photo with description and contact information of the instructors.
