"Changing lives one step at a time."





About Us:
At Linden Street Dance Studio, our goal is to put you in charge of what you want to learn, whether you're just starting out or you're an advanced competitive dancer. Where the big franchise studios might try to steer you into a one-size-fits-all class, we'll work with you to teach you whatever steps you like, from a single dance for a party or wedding all the way up to an ongoing custom program just for you.


Founded in 2006 by a group of professional instructors who wanted to teach in the style they knew works best, Linden Street Dance offers group lessons as well as one-on-one sessions for all levels of experience. Our most popular courses are in Ballroom and Salsa dancing, but if you've got something else in mind, we can show you the right moves.

Our facility near the Oakland waterfront was formerly the practice studio for the Oakland Ballet, and is located just a few blocks from Jack London Square. To schedule an appointment, or to learn more about us, click on one of the links above or give us a call at (510) 444-3404.

Argentine Tango Boot Camp with
Murat & Michelle Erdemsel
for Experienced Dancers

Feb 11 & 12, 2012 (10:30a-6pm each day)

13 hrs of instruction packed into this fast paced, kick-butt weekend of intensive Argentine Tango for experienced dancers. The focus of this boot camp is the signature style of Murat & Michelle. Take a look at their website for inspiration at www.muratandmichelle.com. One of the things Murat & Michelle do best is teach musicality. The Sat program will be dedicated to just that! Sunday will be reserved for advanced figures and technique. Christy and other teachers will be on hand to assist the Boot Camp as well.

   This is the first time since Christy’s Boot Camps began in Jan of 2007 that a boot camp is not taught by Christy (sometime with various partners). Murat & Michelle were invited because of their unique approach to the dance which Christy feels worthy of her Boot Camp reputation! Don’t miss this opportunity to study with these two amazing dancers and teachers.

You may register with a partner (in which case you will not change partners) or solo (in which case you will rotate partners).
Boot Camps are leader/follower balanced so sign up early to reserve your space.

$189 per person. 2 day participation required.

To register call Linden Street Dance at: (510) 444-3404
