Wedding season is approaching!

Classes are held on THURSDAYS from 7:00 until 8:00 PM, at 16 Union Ave, Suite 3-K, Westfield, MA, 01085.

As an added benefit, the instructors (Josephine and Jeff) periodically organize group outings to local events which they believe will offer their students an opportunity to practice their dance skills in a constructive social environment.
