Welcome to our web page, thanks for stopping by. Here are some
guidelines to help you find what you are looking for.

Suzy and Hondo teach many styles of dancing.

  • In the Ballroom and Latin classes Suzy and Hondo follow the DVIDA
    (Dance Vision) curriculum, and focus primarily on American Style
    Dancing (Smooth and Rhythm). These dances include Fox Trot, Waltz,
    Tango, Viennese Waltz, Rumba, Cha Cha, Merengue, Samba, Bolero and
    Mambo.
  • Regarding the Ballroom styles Suzy and Hondo have primarily studied
    the American Style, which permits dancing in open, or outside of
    Closed Position. The next phase of their studies will be the
    International Styles, which maintain a Closed Position throughout.
  • In the Social classes Suzy and Hondo bring a variety of
    contemporary partner dances to the dance floor. These include
    Argentine Tango, Country Two Step, Salsa, Slow Dancing, Hustle, Night
    Club, Polka, Schottische and Country Fast Waltz.
  • In the Party Dance classes Suzy and Hondo cover Country Line
    Dances, Group Mixers, International and American Folk Dances and
    several Jazz steps.
  • In the Jitterbug/Swing classes Suzy and Hondo teach the Ballroom
    styles of East Coast Swing and West Coast Swing. Plus they cover the
    classic styles of Lindy Hop, 1920s Charleston, 1930s (Lindy)
    Charleston, 1950s Jitterbug, Balboa and Shag.
  • Follow the links on the front page to get scheduling information
    and step lists for all the dancing styles.
  • Suzy and Hondo offer a variety of options for learning.
  • Three-week Level I studio series. Level I classes will be done as
    a sampler and will include two dance styles. These series’ will
    last three weeks and will build from lesson to lesson. During this
    series all the steps in Level I will be covered and possibly some of
    the Level II, depending on class progress.
  • Three-week Level II (and greater) classes will be offered as a
    focus class and will include one dance style. These series’ will
    last three weeks and will build from lesson to lesson. During this
    series all the steps in Level II will be covered and possibly some of
    the Level III, depending on class progress.
  • Drop-in classes. These will be focused on one dance and will be
    one session in length. The drop-in classes may contain Level I or
    Level II material.
  • Community Education. Suzy and Hondo currently have a working
    relationship with numerous northern Minnesota area Community
    Education departments. These classes will be a drop-in format and
    will typically cover three dance styles. Contact the Community
    Education department in your area, or follow the Community Education
    link for more information.
  • Private Lesson. One on one instruction is the format for the
    Privates. Follow the Registration link to get pricing information
    for Privates.

As always, no partner is ever needed, the focus is on fun, and the
emphasis on basics for beginners.

Enjoy looking around.

Sincerely, your humble servants,

Suzy and Hondo
