Excelling in the art of dance requires patience, swanlike grace, and a pair of feet strong enough to squeeze two lumps of coal until milk comes out. Massage coal teats into a dance bucket with today's Groupon: for $30, you get an introductory dance package for an individual or couple, including three 30-minute private lessons, four hour-long group lessons, and one hour-long practice session at Casaflo Studios, located in the lower level of Westgate Mall (a $192.50 value). This package is valid for individuals or couples at the same price.

Casaflo instructors guide feet in a variety of dance styles with a focus on relaxed, social dancing. In a combination of scheduled private instruction and group lessons, prancing professors prepare each student for social scenes in genres such as tango, salsa, swing, and bolero. After basic fundamentals are born out of cocoons, a fun practice night allows your village of fellow students to help raise infant moves into maturity with spirited encouragement and minimal hokey pokey hazing. Although relaxed, social movement is the studio's focus, fitness seekers can find a bicep-shaped niche in Casaflo's Zumba classes, and competitive clients can seek a welcoming community of more experienced dancers.

Bright, open studios with gleaming wood floors invite well-timed stampedes with a lineup of afternoon and evening sessions Monday through Saturday. Check out the current schedule online; lineups change monthly.

As of April 27, this Groupon is redeemable at Casaflo Studios' new location at 70 Fieldrow Rd. in Nepean.
