Fall 2024

Better-looking schedule coming Monday (Sept 23).

Feedback welcome.

Starting Sept 30

Mondays: Partner Dancing
7-8: The Evolution of Dance – Famous Cool Moves – Partner Edition
Pre-requisite: some dance training / partner dance experience
Deep learning. Skills and moves from a variety of genres* that can be adapted to many styles of music, including today’s hits.
* Swing, Salsa, Two-Step, Waltz, Tango, Rumba, Samba, Bachata, Blues, Polka, Freestyle …
Each style has qualities that make it very different from the others, and yet many skills cross over, meaning you don’t need to limit yourself to one or two styles – learning these skills and moves will help you have more clarity and more fun on the dance floor, whatever music is playing.
Learn a routine that integrates the complete set. We will adapt the same routine to a variety of songs.
8pm: Students’ Choice:
Focus on one style. Chosen by students the week before. May be the same style every week. Let your wishes be known.
