Sorry, we only scheduled 4 classes this IAP.  If you add yourself to our mailing list, we will let you know if we plan anything later on this year.  Otherwise, the IAP classes will be back next January.

In the meantime, you might be interested in our monthly dance classes in Watertown, MA.

Are these open to the general public (meaning my wife and I)? We are not MIT students but would very much like to attend.
