Attendance isn't mandatory, but you do need to learn the dances with the music. For the final they play a song and expect you to know what dance goes with it. He is a funny guy and the ta was helpful, but if you have no rhythm maybe it isn't the class for you.
When I took this class none of the dances were mandatory. Attendance isn't required but if you don't go, you don't learn the moves. He was funny and made for an enjoyable 50 minutes
I enjoy ballroom dancing and this class helped me learn more dances and moves for those dances. Coming to class will help you pass, and the more formal dances are mandatory, which you had to pay for. You didn't have to go to the formal dances, but you would have to take the final in class at the end. It was a P/NP class.
Sensei Ota is not the actually teaching, more like supervising. Andrew and the TAs are the people who are teachings the basics and they are all awesome! Mondays and Wednesdays were my busy days, but I always looked forward to this class. Fun, highly recommended; take it even if you're slightly interested!
Elementary Ballroom dancing is alot of fun! I had a blast learning different dances and going to dances they held. It's worth it. Mr. Ota is a funny and an awesome teacher.
he's like the coolest teacher ever, he's really funny and passionate about dance.
