Great Lakes Shag Escape

There are three class levels at Great Lakes Shag Escape: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.

Beginners do not need any dance experience to participate.

Please note that the intermediate and advanced students will often have classes together with more challenging content for the advanced dancers. There will be one additional class period where advanced dancers will have a dedicated class just for their level. 

Please see the description of the advanced level below.
