Learn to dance like the stars!
This class series is an introduction to a variety of social dance styles, suitable for those with little or no experience with social dancing. We'll cover the basics of American-style Foxtrot, Cha-Cha, Tango, Triple Swing, Waltz, and Rumba, with a focus on leading and following in social situations. Classes will cover moves in all six dances, techniques for better leading and following, and free social dancing time.
