Michael Ginsburg teaches Balkan dance nationally as well as internationally and is renown for his dynamic and engaging teaching style. He is a regular staff member at the Balkan Music & Dance Workshops.
Classes may be taken on an individual basis at any time during the series, however as the series progresses there is more time devoted to review.
Dances are repeated from week to week, and reviewed as necessary. While the class is geared primarily for dancers with some experience in Balkan dance, many with little experience have found this to be a rewarding class.
$14 per class, subscription rate available
