Before radio, music was broadcast via Morse code, which turned everything into a treble-heavy dance music punctuated by demands to STOP. Limber up for more-graceful dance moves with today’s Groupon: for $30, you get one private lesson, one group class, and one dance party from The Dance Company (up to a $64 value).

Schooled in a variety of jives including tango, swing, and ballroom dancing, instructors at The Dance Company finesse foxtrots and school feet in jitterbugging basics with their schedule of twirl-inducing classes. Trip lightly to the beat of a private lesson’s one-on-one attention, learning the rumba ropes solo or joined by a favorite friend, lover, or floor lamp. Group classes, held Monday–Thursday evenings, get aspiring Astaires two-stepping, swinging, and hustling together in an intimate, convivial setting. Students also practice partner pin-wheeling at once-a-month dance parties, with light snacks fueling the footwork as dozens of students show off new moves and old Mikhail Baryshnikov autographs.
