Group Classes

Beginning, and Level 2 and Above, classes are held on Thursday evenings at 7:30pm and 8:30pm respectively

October 30 through November 20, 2025 (No classes on Thanksgiving, November 27 - 4 classes total for each):

Class Description

7:30pm to 8:30pm - Beginning West Coast Swing - This class is for adults with little or no training in West Coast Swing and for those experienced dancers who wish to review and improve upon their basics in this slowest of Swing dances (and the official state dance of California :-) ). I will go over the basic patterns and build a fun West Coast Swing sequence that you will be able to take to the dance floor right away.  Lots of fun. Cost is $80/person for the full 4 weeks.*

8:30pm to 9:30pm - Level 2 and above Viennese Waltz - This class is a continuation of the Beginning Viennese Waltz classes I taught in September, and for those who have mastered the basics (Natural and Reverse Turns and Forward Change Steps) of this fast-paced classic, and very romantic ballroom dance. I will be teaching a fun sequence of Viennese Waltz patterns that you can take to the dance floor and impress your friends. :-) Cost is $80/person for the full 4 weeks.*

Singles as well as couples are welcome. Partners are recommended but not required. Everyone gets to dance.

*I teach progressively during each session, meaning each subsequent class reviews and builds on the preceding class, so being able to commit to all classes in a session will be the most rewarding and fun experience. However, I allow a modified drop in attendance with a minimum sign up of 2 classes ($40) for the session.

*You can pay for these Thursday evening classes in two ways:

(1) By purchasing a flexible 10 class punch card for $200 one of three ways:

1. going online to: https://www.icandothatpac.org/adultclasses (credit card)

2. calling: Debra Zupo at ICDT! at (925) 217- 4582 (credit card)

3. coming to class early to buy the punch card from Joallyn with cash or check made payable to ICDT! - no credit cards accepted - sorry).

(2) by paying Joallyn by cash or check(made payable to ICDT!) on first day of class for the number of classes you will be attending, $20/class. Please come early if you are using this method.

Please send Joallyn an email at joallynballroom@gmail.com to let her know you would like to enroll in one or both of these Thursday night classes. :-)

November 2 through 30, 2025 (5 classes) :

Class Description

Intermediate/Advanced Viennese Waltz - I will be emphasizing good Viennese Waltz technique, and will have more fun and perhaps challenging Viennese Waltz patterns and sequences to teach you to add to your Viennese Waltz repertoires. We will have a blast with this classic, fast paced ballroom dance!

These Sunday afternoon classes are for experienced and trained dancers, and are taught at the intermediate/advanced level with the expectation that you have truly mastered the standard basics. Beginner and untrained dancers should check out the Thursday night beginning and/or level 2 and above classes described above where you and your fellow students will have an enjoyable experience.

I teach progressively during each session, meaning each subsequent class reviews and builds on the preceding class, so being able to commit to all classes in a session will be the most rewarding and fun experience. However, I allow a modified drop in attendance with the minimum sign up of 2 classes for the session.

Singles as well as couples are welcome. Partners are recommended but not required. Everyone gets to dance.

Cost - Payment up front for the full 5 week session is discounted to $90(no refund). If you can’t commit to all 5 weeks then the drop in rate is $20/class, with a minimum sign up of 2 classes. The amount for the session is due in full at the first class, with cash being preferred, but checks, made payable to Joallyn Bohn, are fine. No credit cards, bank transfers or punch cards can be accepted. I’m sorry if that is an inconvenience.

Please send Joallyn an email at  joallynballroom@gmail.com to request enrollment in these Sunday classes.
