The Dance Center
26135 Carmel Rancho Blvd., Carmel (831) 625-3262, dancecarmel.com
Moonwalk to Carmel’s all-encompassing dance school to learn styles like jazz, ballet, tap and hip-hop. How about the Electric Slide? Not! Their 7,000-square-foot studio gives seasoned dancers room to move and newbies the space to fall – and then, of course, get right back up. They offer group classes for kids, adults and private instruction, and their schedule is so extensive they post months’ worth at a time on their website. Fun fact: They still have a fax machine, so maybe it’s no surprise they’ve been helping the community hone dance moves for over 30 years.
