It's fun and friendly and the atmosphere is very social. Madalyn is always encouraging and takes the course at a great pace giving plenty of time to learn the routine.

Dropping out after the team formation has been decided week 5 will not be possible other than for medical reasons and consistent attendance to training will be expected by your team mates (if you have to miss a session due to a prior commitment, just let us know so we can work around it) ** Investment ** Payment for this course is easy and affordable for everyone: for this 10-hour course with one of the most respected Latin dancers in Australia, the enrolment fee is only $220. If you’re keen to be in the course but $220 is too much to pay upfront, contact James to organise a payment plan (four payments of $60). If you choose to perform you will also need to budget for costuming (typically at least $50 but usually no more than $100 per performer). If you choose to perform at Brisbane Latin Dance Festival you will also need to budget for one of their performer passes.
