About our studio:

Sometimes studio-sponsored classes are planned on short notice, in order to accommodate students' requests; please watch this site for updates. These classes - as well as some HCC and BPR courses - meet in our ballroom studio in southeast Bloomington, where we've installed a fabulous maple dance floor. Please don't plan to wear street shoes (shoes which have been worn outside, ever) -- or shoes with rubber soles and/or heels -- on our dance floor. You may bring suede-soled ballroom dance shoes, suede-soled house shoes, or dance in socks. Thanks for your help in taking care of our dance floor.

Please register with Bloomington Parks and Recreation (BPR) or Heartland Community College (HCC) at least 10 days prior to start dates as appropriate. To register for studio-sponsored classes, please send full payment -- along with name, address, and phone number of each registrant, and the name of the course for which you are registering -- to Dance Partners Studio.

All courses are considered tentative, until adequate enrollment levels are determined 10 days prior to start date; enrollments for studio classes that are not registered and paid 10 days in advance are uncertain, and may incur an additional $10 "late registration" fee. Typical Minimum Enrollment = 14; Maximum = 30.
