Weekend Night Social Dances!
Because of the overhead to run a dance, pre-registration one week in advance is required to ensure we have enough participants to cover expenses. Dances may be held approximately once a month. They begin at 7:30PM with a one hour seminar that changes every month, and general dancing goes from 8:30PM to 11:00PM. Light snacks and beverages are also provided (bring your own water bottle.) Admission is $12/person for the evening. Please bring a change of shoes.
2018 Dance Dates:
April 27th at Iron-Bound Gym--lesson in Night-Club Two-Step
May 11th at Iron-Bound Gym--lesson in Rumba
June 1st at Iron-Bound Gym--lesson in Waltz
As per my training with the ISTD and its strong foundation in pedagogical methods, the first half hour of the social dance will be focused on Beginner movement (Foxtrot, Waltz, and East Coast Swing) so that all ballroom students can dance to every song, and then we will begin to mix in a broader range of dance styles.
SPECIAL SOCIAL EVENTS WITH DANCE LESSON, FOLLOWED BY LIVE MUSIC AND DANCING
Stay tuned.
