Main St., Lansdale, PA 19446), Indian Valley (IV) YMCA (890 Maple Ave., Harleysville, PA 19438). Call 215-855-2711 or 215-530-3482 or email info@blsdc.com for more information or to schedule private lessons. Visit our web site, www.DancingAtTheYMCA.com for class updates.
 
Do not see the class you want? Call or email us and we will put it on our waiting list. We will add a class when we have six or more people interested in the same class, time and location.
 
Cancellation Policy: We will give a full refund for cancellations up to the first day of classes. After the first day of classes, class credits will be given for any missed classes. These class credits may be used for any class of equal length in the current or next session. Missed class credits do not contribute towards minimum registration.
 
What to Wear to Class:  Many people ask what to wear.  Wear casual, comfortable clothing that does not restrict your movement.   Wear light, comfortable shoes that have support for your heel.  Bad choices would be boots, platform shoes, sandals or sling backs that have no heel support, and loafers that might slip off as you are dancing.  Sneakers are fine for beginner lessons although some people do not like dancing in sneakers.  If you catch the dancing bug, you might want to consider investing in a pair of ballroom dance shoes.
