We teach off of the DVIDA syllabus, which is recognized by the National Dance Council of America, and is one of the most widely used syllabi in the nation! All of our instructors are professionals with years of dance experience, and just as importantly teaching experience! Whether you're a beginner or advanced dancer, our instructors will provide quality instruction that meets your needs. Likewise, our instructors have a deep commitment to what Fox Dance Studio stands for: quality teaching in an environment where our students are treated as we would like to be treated.
Private lessons are the best way to increase your dancing skills; because you benefit from the personal time with the instructor. On average, a student can usually learn about twice as fast in a private lesson than in a group class. Private lessons are the best way to learn technique and learn how to lead or follow. Group classes are great for learning steps and patterns in a social group environment.
No, none of our dance instruction services require a student to have a partner. In fact many of our students do not come with a partner. In a private lesson, the student can dance with the instructor.
During our group classes, the females will rotate through the gentleman partners. For our group class students who do bring a partner, rotating partners in a group class setting will help prevent bad habits that could be formed when only dancing with one partner without private instruction.
During our Saturday night social dances, students have a great time dancing with everyone at the party, not only the person that they may have come with.
Students in our studio dress in casual wear. When you are first starting out, any shoe that will not fly off your foot while dancing will be fine. Dance shoes do help significantly however, and you should consider purchasing some the more that you dance. It's similar to using cleats if you were playing football, it makes a difference. We sell shoes here for around the price of $50. On Saturday nights sometimes students dress up slightly more, but casual wear is still appropriate.
Everyone at some point, has been, or still gets nervous to dance. Please remember that Fox Dance Studio is a dance school, and being a good dancer is not required, it is gained. Often times it takes an individual who is nervous to try it once, then they realize that being nervous was really not necessary. Fox Dance Studio provides an environment that promotes learning in a fun, relaxing environment.
In Private Lessons and during the Social Dancing portion of Saturday nights, you may dance the leaders or the followers part and/or dance with a member of the same gender. In Group Classes men are required to learn the leaders part and females the followers part, and everyone is required to rotate partners during Group Classes.
No, all of our instruction services can be purchased on a pay-as-you-go system. We do also provide for bulk discounts for those that would like to pre-pay.
No, just as we don't have contracts to sign-up, we also don't have membership fees, and all of our instruction services can be purchased on a pay-as-you-go system. We do also provide for bulk discounts for those that would like to pre-pay.
Yes! Please see our list of dances that we teach, and you are more than welcome to learn whatever dance you would like in our private lessons. In our group classes, we change our schedule every 6 weeks, and you are more than welcome to choose whichever dance you would like from that group class schedule as well.
The only limitation would be pre-requisites for some of our intermediate and advanced level group classes. This is to provide the best service for the students in the class.

Please visit this link for more information on training to be a professional instructor: Teachers College
Private lessons are the best way to increase your dancing skills; because you benefit from the personal time with the instructor. On average, a student can usually learn about twice as fast, and with more in-depth details in a private lesson compared to a group class. Private lessons are the best way to become affluent in any dance because it is the best way to learn proper technique and how to lead and follow.
Another benefit of private lessons is that the student has the benefit of choosing whichever dances they would like to work on during their lessons.

For an entire list of dances that we teach, please visit our "Dances" link. You may work on any dance that you would like during your lesson. Likewise, the instructor will be more than happy to help you, give you guidance, and explain the differences between the dances. If you have any more questions please feel free to give us a call.
Please give 24 hours notice if you need to cancel your lesson for whatever reason. This will allow the instructor time to try and fill the lesson spot. If we are closed during the time that you call please leave a message for us.
Any cancelations within 12 hours of your lesson, for any reason, will be charged full price for the lesson to ensure that our instructors time is compensated.
Group classes are a great way to gain knowledge and learn steps and patterns in a variety of dances that you may be interested in. A benefit to our 6 week group classes is that they are all progressive; meaning that each class builds from the previous week, and the classes start over from the very beginning in the next 6 week session. Group class students also have the benefit of dancing with a group of people, giving you the ability to gain practice with your leading and following with others.
All classes are designed for students who are brand new to dancing, with the exception of our intermediate level classes.
The size of the group class varies, the average size is about 20 people per group. If the group size becomes too large we will do what we can to make it a good learning environment, and likewise, even if the group class is small there will always be a class.
Group classes are $50 for an entire 6 week class. The group will meet for 1 hour each week at that class's scheduled time for 6 weeks. You are more than welcome to take multiple classes during a 6 week session. Many people like to join a variety of classes, to learn different dance styles and/or to join a class that is immediately before or after one another.
Every 6 weeks we create a new group schedule from the list of dances that we teach. You can join any of those classes that are on the schedule. Please click on the link above to view our current group schedule. If you are interested in joining a group class, please give us a call or write us an email and we will sign you up and/or let you know what dances are being taught for the next group session.
To view our current group class schedule please click on the link above. If you are interested in what dances will be taught next session, please contact us either by phone or email.
Social Dance Nights are a great way to get out and have some fun on Saturday nights! We teach a group lesson from 8pm-8:30pm and then have general dancing from 8:30pm-10:30pm. The dance taught in the group lesson will change each week, is always beginner level, and is a great way to learn a new dance or new moves. From 8:30-10:30pm a variety of music will be played, so whether you've taken lessons or simply want to have some fun, join us anytime between 8-10:30pm each Saturday night.
Social Dance Nights are $10 per person; however, if you bring someone who is new to the studio, both you and the new person can get in for free! A partner is not required, and there is always someone to dance with. Join us, and bring your family and friends for a great time!
The group class taught on Saturday is geared towards beginners and is a great way to get the night started. Even if you have knowledge of the dance being taught, please join us to have some fun, make new friends, and possibly learn some new moves!
The Saturday group class is not a progressive class like our Group Lessons, and changes each week. Please visit the Events page to see what we are teaching this Saturday night.
Sign up now to start earning rewards! We at Fox Dance Studio like to rewards our customers for their loyalty! That is why we have implemented a rewards system designed specifically with you in mind! It is completely free to enroll and points that you earn can be used to make future purchases at the studio for lessons and merchandise.
If enrolled, for every dollar you spend at the studio you will earn 2 reward points.
Likewise, for every person or couple that you refer to private lessons you will instantly earn 1000 rewards points!
You must have a minimum of 500 points before you can use your points, and your points expire 1 year from the date that those points were earned.
The easiest way to calculate the value of your points is to take the quantity of points that you have and divide that by 100. This will give you the dollar value of your rewards points, and these points can be put towards studio purchases!
The best way to find out how many rewards points you have on your account is to ask the receptionist at the front desk while you are at the studio or by calling; they will be happy to help you with that!
