At Rhythms we LOVE to dance for the fun of it! Every instructor in both our children and adult classes wants to plant the seeds of movement and music through joy. As you dance, your coordination improves and your sense of rhythm, balance and strength increase. Have we forgotten to mention that you get a good sweat? We view dance as the doorway to the soul - a place where the body expresses the parts of us that words cannot.

Below are dance classes that we offer:.

Afro-Caribbean Dance - The goal of this class is to infuse the participants with the joy of acknowledging the bounty of life through community dances.
