Group Classes & Social Dances – NEW 2023

HAPPY NEW YEAR and “mahalo” (thank you) for stopping by! I’m excited to start another year of sharing my passion for partnership dancing…35 years of professionally teaching…and counting!

What are your New Year’s Desires…? Okay, you can call them resolutions if you’d like 😉

Meet new people and make new friends? Learn a lifelong skill you can use anywhere? Gain more self-confidence? Improve your posture & coordination? Be more mindful while stimulating your mind, body & soul? Or do you just want to realize that you do not have 2 left feet? You don’t – trust me! These (and many more) are all great reasons to learn to dance!

Dance is making a COMEBACK as we crave human interaction, mentally stimulating “play,” touch, physical movement and a sense of normalcy!

May I be the first to welcome everyone back and honor every person’s comfort level! I deeply care about keeping everyone safe as we step out of lockdowns and mask-mandates. Masks are optional in my classes and private lessons. My classes are ALL-INCLUSIVE to everyone’s COMFORT LEVEL. The classes are a judgement-free zone, so whether you choose to wear a MASK or not, that’s totally up to you!

ALOHA & HAPPY DANCING! – Rita O’Connor

*Not ready for group class settings, just yet? I’ve got you! I’ll meet you on the dance floor for PRIVATE LESSONS and then we can work on the dances you want, at the pace ideal for you, and pivot, progress or send you onto the dance floor with your “dance wings”! Contact me at ritaoconnor5678@gmail.com You call the shots and I’ll count you in…

SHALL WE DANCE?
