Thursday nights from 630 to 930pm
No experience or partner is required for the beginner classes and competition team and the classes are open to students, faculty, and general public, in short - everyone!
No special dress is required for any of the classes, but open-toed shoes might not the best idea since we all tend to step on each other a little at first.
Also, if you can't make it the first week, you're more than welcome to join the second week of classes. We'll be doing plenty of review and you'll be able to jump in and catch up with no problems (this also applies to any other week you're unable to attend one of our classes).
No special dress is required for any of the classes, but open-toed shoes might not the best idea since we all tend to step on each other at first.
The classes are crowded but the price is right. All are welcome - no affiliation to URI is required.
Lastly, please feel free to e-mail us at
with any questions or concerns you might have. You can also view our webpage which contains all this information and a lot more at www.uri.edu/student_organizations/ballroom.
