Like defusing a bomb, a well-executed dance routine requires concentration, skill, and a nervous partner who questions your every move before unexpectedly jumping out of a window. Blow onlookers away with explosive dance moves thanks to today’s Groupon: for $45, you get an introduction to dance package, which includes three private dance classes, six group dance classes, and three Sunday-evening practice parties, from DC Centre in west Omaha (a $98 value).

DC Centre's dedicated dance instructors build up the confidence of each nervous newbie with one-on-one attention and an instructional program customized to help them excel at leaping and twirling. Start from scratch with three private lessons to learn basic steps or brush the cobwebs off long-forgotten dance memories. During nine couples' or group lessons picked from the packed calendar, guests can mingle with the DC Centre's diverse body of 300 to 350 students as they learn classic dances such as the foxtrot, the rumba, and the roach stomp.

Finally, smooth steppers can build their confidence during three practice parties on Sunday evenings at 7:30 p.m. Held at the studio, which doubles as a full-service banquet facility, the parties give dancers a laid-back environment to practice without the pressures associated with nightclubs and board-meeting dance-offs.
