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 today’s Groupon: for $60, you get a dance-lesson series, which includes three 30-minute private sessions, one 60-minute group session, and one 60-minute individual or couples practice session at World of Dance (a $125 value).

World of Dance has been schooling stepping for more than 25 years and staffs a variety of disciplined instructors skilled in styles from rumba to country. Today's deal enables students to work one-on-one with instructors fluent in dance dialects such as swing, merengue, cha cha, waltz, and analog robot. During each half-hour private lesson, teachers familiarize themselves with each dancer's personal needs and tailor advice to correct for potential problems such as poor posture, miscommunication, and an over-reliance on the shimmy. When dancers feel ready, they can premiere pirouettes during one of the studio's regularly scheduled practice sessions. Or, to put a little extra pep in the two-step, talents can swing by for one drop-in group lesson.
