Group Classes

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

February 5 through 26, 2026 (4 classes total for each):

Class Description

7:30pm to 8:30pm - Beginning Rumba and Salsa- This class is for adults with little or no training in Rumba and Salsa and for those experienced dancers who wish to review and improve upon their basics of these two Latin style dances with their “Cuban motion” hip action. I will go over the basic patterns and techniques of each dance and build a fun sequence in each so that you will be able to take these two dances to the dance floor right away.  Rumba is the “dance of love”, and is danced to slow romantic music. Salsa is fast and danced to faster, sassy music. Both are lots of fun. Cost is $80/person for the full 4 weeks.*

8:30pm to 9:30pm - Level 2 and above Waltz - This class is a continuation of the Beginning Waltz classes I taught in January, and for those who have mastered the basics (left and right box turns and forward change steps) of this beautiful slow classic ballroom dance, danced to 3/4 time music. I will be teaching more patterns and variations on the basics of Waltz as well as good technique, so you will look awesome on the dance floor doing this popular dance. 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. :-)

March Thursday evening classes (4 weeks) will be Beginning Quickstep and Argentine Tango, and Level 2 and above Rumba and Salsa.

February 1 through 22, 2026 (4 classes) :

Class Description

Intermediate/Advanced West Coast Swing - I will be emphasizing good West Coast Swing technique, and will do a quick review of the basics of this slowest of the Swing dances, and then go on to add more fun and perhaps challenging West Coast Swing patterns and sequences to add to your West Coast Swing repertoires. We will have a blast with this jazzy, sexy Swing dance, which is the State Dance of California. :-)

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 of dance. 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 4 week session is discounted to $70(no refund). If you can’t commit to all 4 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.
