Group Classes
Beginning, and Level 2 and Above, classes are held on Thursday evenings at 7:30pm and 8:30pm respectively
May 7 through 28, 2026 (4 classes total for each):
Class Description
7:30pm to 8:30pm - Beginning Bolero and Bachata- This class is for adults with little or no training in Bolero and Bachata and for those experienced dancers who wish to review and improve upon their basics of these two different Latin style dances. I will go over the basic patterns and techniques of each dance and build a fun sequence in each so that you will be able to take these two dances to the dance floor right away. Bolero is the slowest and most romantic (IMHO) of the Latin style dances, and is derived from a Spanish Waltz. It has the unique rise and fall of a Waltz. Bachata is a fun, upbeat dance, often danced at Salsa clubs as well as open dancing venues. It is easy to learn. Both dances are lots of fun. Cost is $80/person for the full 4weeks.*
8:30pm to 9:30pm - Level 2 and above Quickstep and Argentine Tango This class is a continuation of the Beginning Quickstep and Argentine Tango classes I taught in March/April and for those who have mastered the basics of these two fun dances. I will be teaching more patterns and fun sequences, as well as good technique, so you will look awesome on the dance floor doing these popular dances. Cost is $80/person for the full 4 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.
Please send Joallyn an email at joallynballroom@gmail.com to let her know you would like to enroll in one or both of these Thursday night classes. :-)
June Thursday evening classes (4 weeks) will be Beginning Cha Cha and Hustle and Level 2 and above Bolero and Bachata,.
Intermediate/Advanced classes are held on Sunday afternoons from 3:00pm to 4:00pm
May 10 through 31, 2026 (4 classes) :
Class Description
Intermediate/advanced Rumba and Salsa- I will be emphasizing good technique in both these Latin style dances, and will do a quick review of the basics. I will then go on to add more fun and perhaps challenging patterns, combinations, and sequences in each of these two dances to add to your dance repertoires. We will have fun.
These Sunday afternoon classes are for experienced and trained dancers, and are taught at the intermediate/advanced level with the expectation that you have truly mastered the standard basics of dance. 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 4 week session is discounted to $70(no refund). If you can’t commit to all 4 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.
