Learn to dance with confidence with Cathy and Fred Fisher. Their classes make a fun date night activity for couples looking to try something new!

“We were looking for something different to try as a couple and neither of us had ever been in a dance class before. Although we won't be competing professionally in dance any time soon, we really enjoyed the class!

Cathy and Fred broke the dances down into small steps and before we knew it, we were dancing. We made new friends, we spent time together as a couple, and we learned something new. We definitely recommend trying a dance class.”

"I had taken the ACT three times already and was at a complete standstill with my score when my mom heard about the ACT Prep Course at UCA.

The class was great and the teachers really wanted to help. If we needed help in certain areas or on specific problems, the instructors were great to work through them with us. They also taught us overall testing strategies for the ACT, which I thought was super helpful on test day.

I raised my score by four points! I was so happy and so glad that I had taken the prep course; there is no doubt that it made a difference in my test-taking and my overall outcome!"
