HI! I'm moving to Pittsburgh in the fall and am hoping to get involved in various activities, including dance lessons. I am looking for a studio/gym/community center that offers unlimited dance classes for a yearly or monthly fee. Does such a thing exist? I am hoping for a center that offers a reasonably large selection of classes, including Tango lessons (and hopefully hip hop as well). I am less interested in gyms that only offer dance classes such as "cardio disco" and the like (I'm more interested in learning to dance than in getting exercise). I will be living in Squirrel Hill and working in Oakland and wont have a car, so ideally the lessons would be located somewhere nearby.

Thank you so much for your help!

1. Welcome to Pittsburgh!
2. Off the top of my head, this is the one I could think of. I am sure there are others. http://www.arthurmurraypgh.com/ (I believe they have a studio Downtown, Monroeville, McMurray, and Wexford)

My wife goes to Zumba class at the Absoloute Ballroom; I'm sure you will find it very affordable and enjoyable.

You may want to check out Wilkins School Community Center as well. I don't think that they have unlimited classes but they teach tap, ballet, jazz, and hip hop there as well as some social dancing and zumba. You can get there by bus from Squirrel Hill on the 61B
