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.

Prerequisites: No special attire, partner, or previous dance experience needed. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that won't fall off while dancing.

About the instructor: Jay Daigle is an alumnus of the Claremont Ballroom Dance Company, the Cambridge University Dancesport Team, and the XS Latin Formation Team.
