Sign up with a partner for a discount! 
You and your partner may add up your classes for higher discounts. For example, if you both sign up for the same 6 classes, you may split the 12 class rate of $290. Signing up together does not mean you must dance together for the whole time.  It is just to help us create evenly balanced workshops. You will be offered a chance to change partners.
Prepaid Couples Registration has higher priority than Prepaid Single Registration if the class is sold out and/or gender is unbalanced. Luciana’s workshops usually sell out. To ensure a place for yourself, sign up with a partner.
