Description: IFDA is excited to offer programmes in San Diego, California. Traditionally, we place our programs in areas where (1) the dance originated, or (2) the people of the area influenced the nature of the dance. Thus, the dances in the other cities where we have programs are location-specific based on the culture of the dance community in those areas. The dance environment in San Diego permits a more diverse offering, and we can offer instruction on the dance of student's primary interest.

In San Diego, you may choose one of the following seven styles:

1. Ballet
2. Jazz
3. Lyrical
4. Latin Ballroom (a survey of Cha Cha, Rumba, Samba, and Jive)
5. Classic Ballroom (a survey of Waltz, Tango, and Foxtrot)
6. Salsa
7. Hip Hop

Incorporating a study of the English language into an intense dance program, IFDA San Diego guarantees an intense, enjoyable experience to meet the highest expectations.
