Learn to Dance the Natural Way
DancZen is the Natural Way to learn how to dance that is easy and fun. You learn the way dancing has always been learned - by watching and replicating, by doing and playing. Pick up the fundamentals with simple exercises that teach the “ 3 R’s”-Rhythm, Repetition, and Reflection and the “A, B, C’s” –Attitude, Body, and Contact. Learn the Lead/Follow Connection and partnering skills that open up the joy of leading and the freedom of following. With these skills the world of social dancing opens up to you - Ballroom, Modern Jive, Swing, Blues or Nightclub Dancing. Danczen Workshops cover these fundamentals and then move onto specialized Focus Classes. Line Danczen gives everyone a great opportunity to work on footwork, patterns and rhythm without a partner in a party atmosphere. Come join us at Studio Move Dance Studio in Ketchum, ID and get into the swing and onto the floor.

5 Reasons Why Men Should Learn How to Dance
We teach dancing the natural way, no memorizing steps, no counting - just learning how to move to the music with a partner. If you think you have '2 left feet', that you don't have any rhythm or you just don't know how then our classes are for you. They are easy, fun and effective. Start with the Fundamentals of Partner DancZen, or come to Friday DancZen nights and go from there.
I came in with two left feet and left feeling all right.
