Well, I called a studio in my town, http://www.dancingartscenter.com/ and will be going to watch a class next week and see if its for me.
The teacher was very nice (I got in touch with her at her home office) and she's going to mail out an informational packet to me at home. Its $17 a class if you only take 1 per week but the classes are an hour and 1/2 (rather than the traditional hour), so I guess that's not *that* unreasonable.
You know - if I like them, and they have a Saturday morning class that would be appropriate who knows, perhaps I'll end up taking 2 classes a week.
What I particularly like is this statement on their website, its similar to my old teacher's philosophy:
"The professional atmosphere at DAC keeps the focus of the programs where it should be - on the students, not on ribbons, trophies, recitals, razzle - dazzle, etc. Students of all sizes, shapes and ages enjoy the respect and individualized attention afforded to every member at DAC. Their self esteem increases through inner awareness and growth, not superficial rewards and glitz. "
