SOCIAL INTERACTION
World of Happiness will "sweep you off your feet," literally, onto a dance floor. Research has proven DANCE, in particular, can improve your overall health: physically, mentally, and socially. Our goal is to use quality teaching to bring these health benefits to as many people as possible.
How it works
We provide you with instructors to teach either at your facility or at our studio. The cost of each lesson will be at a minimum charge or at no cost if we receive sufficient funding to support the program. If we teach at your facility, please note that we will need floor space for at least 20 people on the dance floor, approximately 25 x 25 feet or more. A wood floor is preferable. Each class runs for 45 minutes. Date and time are totally up to you!
