Intro to Ballroom and Social Dance, Winter
Have you ever found yourself in a social setting where you wanted to get on the dance floor and “strut your stuff” without inhibition? In this class we will learn a variety of partner dances from the Charleston, swing, polka, waltz, fox trot, to salsa, bachata, and cha-cha, and of course the late 20th century American party dances! All are welcome, with or without a dance partner.
