* Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) Training:The goal of the RAD program is to provide realistic self-defense options—both risk reduction and physical resistance—for women. Preparation through education and training is the best way to avoid (if possible) or survive (when needed) an assault situation. Learn techniques to disable an assailant, risk avoidance methods, and empowerment through knowledge.

NO TWO STEP OR SWING CLASSES AT THIS TIME. Private lessons available with me in Medford.
* COUNTRY WESTERN TWO STEP: From tiny honky-tonks to festivals and arena concerts, country fans love to two-step. This class will teach newcomers the basics, such as underarm turn, side by side, and promenade, while offering more experienced dancers new moves and techniques to expand their repertoire. We’ll also include some couple dances such as El Paso and Shadow.
* SWING DANCE PLUS: For those comfortable with the triple step, here’s your chance to add to your repertoire and improve your swing style. We’ll introduce 8-count moves, including a lindy turn. Learn to become a better leader/follower. Come with a partner, or come alone. Add to your fun and get some terrific exercise!
