Looking for dance lessons that aren't your typical ballet, tap, or jazz class? Then try international folk dancing! Join us in a multicultural experience as we learn dances from around the world. 

This class is the self-paced version of my ongoing class by the same name, and it is a great option for learners who are unable to meet in one of my live sections. 

Each week in this self-paced class, we will explore a cultural dance style from a specific country by learning a traditional dance or beginner-level choreography from that country. Each lesson consists of one video tutorial ranging from 10-20 minutes long depending on the length/difficulty of the dance. An accompanying classroom post includes a brief background of the dance, links to video examples of professional/local dancers dancing the specific style, and a link to the music used in the lesson (if available).

While the lessons are sequenced to gradually increase in difficulty across the 6 weeks, the dance content does not build from one class to the next so learners are free to complete the lessons in whatever order they wish. 

This class is suitable for both beginners and seasoned dancers alike--there is something for everyone! I strive to create a welcoming environment for learners to celebrate other cultures and receive exposure to unique dance styles. 

A note on volume 2: This class is part of my series of self-paced "Dance Around the World" classes. Each of the classes in this series has the same 6-week structure using a different array of dances, and the classes can be completed in any order. For example, this class is labeled as volume 2, but learners don't have to complete this class before signing up for volumes 3 or 4 (the volume numbers associated with each class title are simply to differentiate the unique content of each class).  

Volume 1 includes the following dances: Hula (Hawaiian dance), Jerusalema (South African dance), Tarantella (Italian dance), Hopak (Ukrainian dance), Chinese folk dance, and Bhangra (Indian dance).
