What You'll Get
For $15, today's side deal gets you two 25-minute, private dance lessons and one practice party (a $30 value) at Dance Tonight (formerly known as Let's Dance Tonight) in south Minneapolis. This deal is for new beginning clients aged 18 and older. This Groupon can be used for a single dancer or for a couple.
At Dance Tonight, students will learn valuable dance skills from expert teachers trained in ballroom, Latin, swing, country, and cybernetic chicken dance. No prior experience is necessary. During their 50 total minutes of private instruction, students will become acquainted with one of several dance styles of their choice, including ballroom’s waltz, foxtrot, and cha cha, as well as Latin’s samba, rumba, and merengue. Once one's feet are sufficiently happy, you'll get to mingle with other enthusiastic students at a practice party and show off your new moves in a fun, social environment. And if you forget the next step, your instructor will be right there on the sidelines giving you helpful pointers.
Reviews
A lone Google Maps reviewer gives Dance Tonight (formerly Let's Dance Tonight) four stars, and two DexKnows users give it 4.5:
- I had a fun, enthusiastic and caring teachers [sic] - enjoyed this studio where I could be challenged, make mistakes and only be encouraged to try again. Guess that's why I'm still dancing!!! – dancing pastor, DexKnows
- Much more fun than I expected. The instruction mixes knowledge of dance with patience, humor, and a careful attention to building new things on what has already been learned. – clodhopper IV, DexKnows

About Dance Tonight
Dance Tonight instructors conduct introductory lessons that introduce the basic step for 6-8 dances of your choice. Students might practice the salsa and the foxtrot in a single afternoon, or segue from swing into an elegant waltz, all the while developing a preference for those moves that resonate with their bodies. After they've completed these classes, a basic program further hones their focus. Group sessions and parties enable them to rehearse alongside fellow learners, all of whom benefit from the studio's welcoming, judgment-free vibe.
Though the instructors keep the mood smooth and groovy, they're constantly channeling professional experience; owner Francesca Spumoni and her partner Jacek Kozdroj have competed nationally in American Style Ballroom. They can also assist with special events at their venue or on-location, hosting wedding receptions, school dances, and other celebrations.
