The current selection of courses may vary depending on demand and availability of instructors and facilities. Spring- and fall-courses offered are 10 classes between 60-90 minutes each. Shorter courses are sometimes offered, e.g. summer/winter specials.
All classes at Dansarna.se are conducted in appropriate facilities selected with focus on the best learning environment. This implies that all our facilities have mirrors and that the floor is suitable for dancing. Dansarna.se does not use standard sport-halls for our classes.
