Group Lessons

Lessons for everybody

I currently teach group lessons for the general public through the non-profit group Austin Ballroom Dancers. Classes are held at the Hancock Recreation Center, run in 5-week sessions, and are very reasonably priced.

Workshops for December and the first part of January are now posted.

Classes are each one hour long and progressive in nature: the level one classes start from nothing, level two builds upon the techniques and figures learned in level one; three builds on two, etc.

I teach four classes: levels one (7:30-8:30) and two (8:45-9:45) are on Friday nights, and level three and a demand class (dances not on the normal list, technique classes, and level 4 and above) on Thursday nights.

By request, here's a list of steps that might be encountered in the first couple of levels.

See the ABD site for pricing and the current class schedule.

High Schools

I am currently teaching at McNeil High School in an after-school program sponsored by the PTSA.

Group lesson location

ABD classes are held at the Hancock Recreation Center, 811 E 41st Street.
This is the original Austin Country Club and is in the middle of the golf course just east of Red River between 38th and 41st. The entrance is on 41st Street, just west of the stop light at Red River.
