However, you are encouraged to bring your own partner. Classes will meet weekly on Mondays for 90 minutes. Most classes start at 7 PM. Classes will be held in various studios in the Metro Boston Area. We rotate amongst the studios so we can participate in the Boston dance community. Dance classes are be taught by Bill Morganti.
