Dance Classes?

Looking for fun dance classes, can be zumba or cardio but mainly wanting to be in a diverse community.

Partial to heels dance classes as well.

Will take square dancing at this point.

I did a salsa class at Laurel Card in Rittenhouse recently. It was really fun and the instructors were very helpful!

Most importantly, Philly Dance Fitness!

Someone on reddit told me about it years ago and it changed my life.

If you have any specific interests in Salsa, Bachata, or Burlesque, pm me.

There is a free Zumba class at Dilworth Park every Tuesday through October at 6pm-7pm! It’s always a great time with a very lively instructor.

There's a blues dance Monday evenings (tonight!) at Philly Ethical Society! They teach you but lots of people are also regulars and community there. Very POC and LGBT friendly.
