Group Classes

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

December 4 & 11, 2025 and January 8 through 29, 2026 - 6 classes total for each):

Class Description

7:30pm to 8:30pm - Beginning Waltz - This class is for adults with little or no training in the classic ballroom dance of Waltz and for those experienced dancers who wish to review and improve upon their basics in this beautiful, swirling dance, danced to 3/4 time music. I will go over the basic patterns and techniques and build a fun Waltz sequence 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 West Coast Swing - This class is a continuation of the Beginning West Coast Swing classes I taught in November, and for those who have mastered the basics (Sugar Push, Left Side Pass, Right Side Pass, Basic Whip) of this slowest and jazziest of Swing dances. I will be teaching more patterns and variations on the basics of West Coast Swing, as well as good technique, so you will look awesome on the dance floor doing this popular dance. 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.

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. :-)

February Thursday evening classes (4 weeks) will be Beginning Salsa & Rumba, and Level 2 and above Waltz.

Intermediate/Advanced classes are held on Sunday afternoons from 3:00pm to 4:00pm

December 7 & 14, 2025 and January 4 through 25, 2026 (6 classes) :

Class Description

Intermediate/Advanced Samba - I will be emphasizing good Samba technique, and will do a quick review of the basics of this unique Latin style dance, and then go on to add more fun and perhaps challenging Samba patterns and sequences to add to your Samba repertoires. We will have a blast with this upbeat dance.

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 6 week session is discounted to $110(no refund). If you can’t commit to all 6 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.

February Sunday afternoon classes (4 weeks)will be Intermediate/advanced West Coast Swing
