Summer Flex Pass 2026
We know you go on vacation, have visitors, events and can’t always commit to an entire session of classes. That’s why we offer, in the summer only, this flexible pass. The pass is good for classes and dance nights. (it is not for outside events or the anniversary party). Each person needs their own pass (passes can not be shared or transferred). The pass will be $200 for 12 entries and include 2 guest passes (FOR NEW FRIENDS ONLY). If you use up your first pass, there are 2 renewal options: 12 entries for $180 or 6 entries for $100 (guest passes not included). We do NOT run sessions in the summer (each class stands alone) so this is a great time to try out different classes. You may of course continue to pay by the class ($20/class) and dance night ($15 each), but Purchasing a summer pass really helps out Dance Country 😊. Passes start June 1st and expire on Aug 31st and are nontransferrable.
