**Even though BBDT does not offer formal instruction in American Smooth, American Rhythm, or Latin Club Dances, several members on the team do know how to dance these styles and may be willing to teach them or give you additional resources. Once a semester we typically have a Beginner Smooth/Rhythm lesson day outside of regular beginner lessons.
