Group Classes

Beginning, and Level 2 and Above, classes are held on Thursday evenings at 7:30pm and 8:30pm respectively

June 26 and July 3 through 31 (6 classes total for each):

Class Description

7:30pm to 8:30pm - Beginning Foxtrot and Polka - This class is for adults with little or no training in Foxtrot (the dancer’s dance) and Polka (great for Oktoberfest celebrations and Viennese Waltz balls), and for those experienced dancers who wish to review and improve upon their basics in these popular dances. I will go over the basic patterns of these fun, yet perhaps challenging, dance styles. I like to think I can take the fear out of both dances and insert tons of fun. I will teach patterns and sequences that you will be able to take to the dance floor right away.  Lots of fun. Cost is $120/person for the full 6 weeks.*

8:30pm to 9:30pm - Level 2 and above East Coast Swing - This class is a continuation of the Beginning East Coast Swing classes I taught in May, and for those who have mastered the basics of this upbeat All American style dance. I will quickly review the basics (single, double and triple timing) then move on to more and more fun patterns and combinations. :-) Cost is $120/person for the full 6 weeks.*

Singles as well as couples are welcome. Partners are recommended but not required. Everyone gets to dance.

*I teach progressively during each session, meaning each subsequent class reviews and builds on the preceding class, so being able to commit to all classes in a session will be the most rewarding and fun experience. However, I allow a modified drop in attendance with a minimum sign up of 2 classes ($40) for the session.

*You can pay for these Thursday evening classes in two ways:

(1) By purchasing a flexible 10 class punch card for $200 one of three ways:

1. going online to: https://www.icandothatpac.org/adultclasses (credit card)

2. calling: Debra Zupo at ICDT! at (925) 217- 4582 (credit card)

3. coming to class early to buy the punch card from Joallyn with cash or check made payable to ICDT! - no credit cards accepted - sorry).

(2) by paying Joallyn by cash or check(made payable to ICDT!) on first day of class for the number of classes you will be attending, $20/class. Please come early if you are using this method.

Class Description

Intermediate/Advanced Tango-I will be emphasizing good Tango technique and will have fun and perhaps challenging Tango patterns and sequences to teach you to add to your Tango repertoire.. We will have a blast!

These Sunday afternoon classes are for experienced and trained dancers, and are taught at the intermediate/advanced level. Beginner and untrained dancers should check out the Thursday night beginning and/or level 2 and above classes described above where you and your fellow students will have an enjoyable experience.

I teach progressively during each session, meaning each subsequent class reviews and builds on the preceding class, so being able to commit to all classes in a session will be the most rewarding and fun experience. However, I allow a modified drop in attendance with the minimum sign up of 2 classes for the session.

Singles as well as couples are welcome. Partners are recommended but not required. Everyone gets to dance.

Cost - Payment up front for the full 5 week session is discounted to $90(no refund). If you can’t commit to all 5 weeks then the drop in rate is $20/class, with a minimum sign up of 2 classes. The amount for the session is due in full at the first class, with cash being preferred, but checks, made payable to Joallyn Bohn, are fine. No credit cards, bank transfers or punch cards can be accepted. I’m sorry if that is an inconvenience.

Please send Joallyn an email at  joallynballroom@gmail.com to request enrollment in these Sunday classes.
