EPA Group Classes
Every EPA Dance Studio instructor is a gifted dancer and experienced instructor with a passion for dance. All are immersed in the work of continuous evolvement of teaching and being certified in our unique, chosen teaching method supported by DVIDA syllabus. In the Academy, we will give you the right tools to become an advanced social dancer, comfortable on any dance floor. We are committed to helping you discover the joy of Ballroom dancing, and to making your learning journey rewarding, educational and fun!
Our academy consists of a combination of private lessons, group lessons, showcase opportunities and prestigious Ballroom competition experiences!
A private lesson is a 45 min training session with one person or a couple and their teacher.
Private lessons are specifically tailored to fit students’ needs. We understand everyone has a different learning process so our method is based on pairing you with 2 teachers who will discover together with you, what kind of approach you thrive in.
There are often multiple private dance lessons happening on the dance floor at the same time! We’ve discovered that learning in this environment gives an enormous benefit to the students, preparing them for real social dance settings.
Our private lessons are by appointment only and may be scheduled by calling our dance studio.
We suggest that our group dance classes be taken in addition to private dance lessons. Group classes are led by one instructor teaching up to 10 people in a private room.
They cover a variety of dances and topics, giving a student a general introduction to any specific style of dance. Our Group classes are usually scheduled in the evenings throughout the week.
A dance workshop is a special group class lecture led by a renowned guest coach, usually a Champion, a judge or a Dancing with the Star performer, and coaching the group in a topic of their choice.
Dance Workshops are scheduled ahead of time and open to all levels of dancers. It is a beautiful opportunity to learn from our industry leaders, in a familiar group class setting and end the lecture with lots of dancing on the shared dance floor, with one or multiple dance partners.
Dance competitions are events that are held either at the studio or at various dance events, sometimes even prestigious venues such as Ohio Star Ball and Emerald Ball (a high rank capturing events on the National scale).
For those dancers who have a competitive spirit, our instructors can help you become a skilled Pro-Am Competitor with your Instructor, at National and International dance competition venues!
Benefits of dancing with our Academy:
Mental: There is a lot of research out there that supports the fact that dancing makes you smarter. We won’t bore you with all the data but we will share that Ballroom dancing does improve alertness, focus, enhances memory and relieves depression and anxiety. Dancing makes you relax, unwind, focus on being in the present moment and leaves you feeling rejuvenated.
Our dance studio is created to promote an experience of hospitality and fun! We provide a welcoming environment where every dancer feels like they have a second home. Dancing can become an integral part of one’s life and the bonds and friendships that are created based on sharing a common passion, are often long lasting and fulfilling. Whether you are a single person or a couple, Ballroom dancing will undoubtedly enrich your social life, reconnect with yourself and others and expand your circle of friendships!
Ballroom dancing is a very effective and fun workout! It is based on low and high-impact aerobic activity (depending on the style of dance) in combination with inner resistance and deep core work. It increases strength, flexibility and balance, increases lung capacity and makes you happy! It is always a good time to dance!
Being connected with people through the physical sensation of touch and emotional connection to music has healing benefits on an emotional level. Laughing together, moving with other people through space, even sweating together deepens communication skills between people and creates a special bonding experience. The act of embracing another being is something we are collectively missing in these times and Ballroom dancing brings people together, reminding them that life is meaningful when we share our passion with others.
