Rebecca teaches both of the different levels of her class with an emphasis on humor, self-improvement and ultra low stress. Students progress to the next level at their own pace or may stay at a favorite level forever. Level 1/Beginners is Monday and/ or Thursday at the DesertView Magnolia room, Level 2 has classes Monday and Tuesday in SaddleBrooke HOA 1 and 2. A supplementary Level 2 “Happy Feet” session on Thursday allows rapid fitness and practice while performing about 12 different dances in an hour. Classes are restricted in size so you must register with Rebecca in advance to attend and fall 2019 classes are usually full. All SaddleBrooke classes are twice per week so you a have choices of days and an opportunity to make up sessions missed for vacation/illness.
