For a quinceañera

The waltz for the court

A group class for the quinceañera, her damas and the chambelanes. We teach the waltz in pairs and the court's entrance together, with a teacher counting aloud, so nobody has to learn it alone in a living room.

Dancers from different families practice side by side, and the court can join any time in the weeks before the date.

  • Ages 13 to 17

  • Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Saturday mornings

  • Taught in Spanish and English

Irais C.Parent of a nine-year-old

“Everything is explained in Spanish and in English, so my mother can follow along from the bench.”

Elida M.Parent of an eleven-year-old

“The waltz class put our whole court in one room, and the teacher counted aloud for every pair.”

Adrian S.Parent of a fourteen-year-old
