To cope with life’s endless parade of stress and marching bands, many people yodel in public or wander out to their kids’ tree house to solo-mosh to Mozart. Relieve stress with more social grace, courtesy of today’s Groupon: for $49, you get two private lessons, one group lesson, and one party at Dare to Dance in Blue Ash (a $190 value).

Dare to Dance is a fun-centric dance school offering classes in a wide variety of exciting styles, weekly dance parties, and plenty of open practice time for sharpening your steps. Both amateur and master movers can get fit with a heaping dose of Zumba—a zesty, calorie-blasting blend of Latin rhythms and simple movements that would stop a tap-dancing rhino in mid-riffle. Dance disciples can also shimmy through salsa, learn what it really means to “Do the Hustle,” or practice the customizable nightclub two-step, which—like fainting—doesn’t require participants to commit to specific movements. Dare to Dance's team of experienced instructors work closely with customers in both one-on-one and group lessons to make sure they have a rewarding experience as they open up a world of new ways to move their body. Cap off lessons with a dance party, which gives Fred and Ginger wannabes an opportunity to foot-flirt in a casual, social atmosphere.

Dare to Dance features three large ballrooms where smiling feet can float effortlessly across floorboards while the rest of the body whirls obliviously through the air above. Check the schedule for class times and dance party days before selecting which courses to take, although all are ideal opportunities to meet new people and to teach your leg-mouths the language of dance.
