Dancing is a lot like juggling hammers—if you do it right you’ll be the life of the party, but if you lose concentration you’ll bruise your big toe. Keep your toes twinkling with today’s Groupon to Pure Dance Ottawa in Kanata. Choose between the following options:

• For $25, you get a four-week group dance course (a $54.24 value).
• For $59, you get three private dance lessons for one or two people (a $195 value).<p>

Helmed by internationally recognized owner Marina Martynenko, Pure Dance Ottawa’s cadre of expert instructors guide nascent two-steppers through a variety of American and international rug-cutting styles during private and group dance classes. Each of the one-hour group classes focuses, like a graceful laser, on one ballroom dance and one Latin dance, such as Wednesday-night Rumba and Waltz classes. Feet develop sultry Spanish accents during a Cha-Cha and Tango class, and dormant zoot-suit-wearing impulses get activated while jiving through the Swing and Foxtrot class. Most four-week classes are held Monday and Wednesday evenings,and today’s Groupon can also be applied to longer classes held other dates throughout the week. Customers can peruse the online schedule for specific class times.

Alternatively, a trio of private lessons gives solo hoofers or duos of leg-shakers the chance to dive into a customized program of instruction based on individual interests and abilities. Under the direction of a prancing pedagogue, each one-on-one session ensures personalized attention and drama-free partner picking. The pace of classes is determined by participants’ preferences and personal beliefs in the validity of space-time.
