Beginner International Ballroom II Dance Class
Learn both the technique for social ballroom dancing and for performance in this 8-week beginner series, running from April 3 to May 29. There will not be a class on April 24. No partner or experience required!
We will be covering International Tango (1st hour) and Samba (2nd hour) in the first four weeks, followed by International Foxtrot (1st hour) and Jive (2nd hour).
This class series is an introduction to competitive style international ballroom and latin dancing, suitable both for dancers interested in learning ballroom and for students with no prior dance experience. We'll begin with four weeks of Tango and Samba, followed by four weeks of Foxtrot and Jive. The class will cover choreography and routines in all four dances, as well as technique for both performance and lead-follow social dancing.
