The teaching team will help everyone learn the fundamental dance steps in a friendly, supportive, and inclusive group class setting.
Partners are not required and no experience is necessary for the beginner class. We encourage beginners to take the intermediate class also if they feel comfortable with more challenging material.
Teachers switch partners frequently during class so every student can practice the steps and patterns.

History
Beginning in mid-2021, Frank Sulik has assumed leadership of the Peppermint Dance Club. Frank has been a regular attendee, and part of the volunteer staff of the Peppermint, assisting founders Steve and Betty Culver with running the weekly dance and lessons.
After months of closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Betty and Steve made the decision to retire. Now that gatherings and social events are reopening, Frank and his team are excited to be restarting the Peppermint Dance every Saturday night, starting on September 11, 2021.
SAFETY
Dancers are encouraged to practice good social etiquette skills and safe dance practice such as good floorcraft (allowing adequate space between other dancer couples to avoid collisions and injury. Dancers, please be aware and respectful of any partner’s limitations and take all precautions to avoid injuring anyone.
Social dancing is different than Competitive dancing (such as Dancing with the Stars). We are here to have fun dancing, learning, and socializing with other like minded people interested in dance.
We ask that dancers refrain from teaching others on the dance floor, unless your partner specifically asks for assistance.
To prevent spills and falls, and damage to dance shoes, food and drinks are not permitted inside the ballroom area. Please enjoy refreshments in the lobby area.
Please notify the staff should a spill occur so we can clean the area quickly.

Any safety concerns, harassment, or injury should be reported to Frank Sulik (or the volunteer staff) Any person threatening or causing intentional injury or harm to another person or property will be asked to leave, or be subject to arrest.
