Advanced Lesson (Progressive Learning)


Progressive Lessons are typically a harder lesson than the standard beginner lesson we offer upstairs.  They are progressive meaning that we intend on these classes building on the previous class material so joiners can be added at the instructors discretion.  We try to get a group of students together that are going to stick with the progressive lesson through all four weeks.  It is a great way to get some individual attention from our top notch instructors and the price is very reasonable as well.

If you looking for even more personalized attention, please inquire about private lesson from the SwinGallery staff.  The cost of a private lesson is about $40 per hour per person or $60 per couple per hour.


All classes held at 721 Madison Avenue, Covington, KY on Thursdays from 8pm-9pm and include the SwinGallery dance at no additional cost, no partner is required and all ages are welcomed.


NO PRE-REGISTRATION IS NECESSARY FOR 2010 PROGRESSIVE LESSONS.

Sign-up with the instructors at the first class and pay with cash or check.  Amounts are listed below in the class schedule.
