When I was in grad school I signed up for jazz, ballet, and hip hop lessons to shake up my fitness routine; it provided both a fabulous workout and a means to channel my closet desire to be a Broadway hoofer.

I’ve been thinking about revisiting dance here in Boston, and have heard great things about the Dance Complex in Central Square (the African dance classes are supposed to be especially killer). DanceNet offers a good directory of studios and freelance dancers in the Greater Boston area; the homepage also offers links to (less exhaustive) listings of classes and events in New England, nationwide, and worldwide.
