These are no-stress, no-pressure classes, and you don't need to bring a partner. Just wear comfortable clothes and bring sensible shoes to dance in, preferably leather or suede soled shoes ( no clunky sneakers, gentlemen, and no slides or spike heels, ladies...) so your feet can slide smoothly across the floor. You may choose to learn only certain dances or come for the whole year's offerings. We will be periodically reviewing all the dances we've learned throughout the year so as to maintain our skills in all of them.
Nineteenth-Century Waltz Class
Learn the beautiful constantly-turning waltz of the nineteenth century still danced today in folk, contra, and vintage dance communities. No experience required, no partner needed. Flat or low-heeled shoes with leather soles (not rubber) suggested.

|---|---|
| Time: | 4:00-6:00pm |

Beginner Ballroom Dance
The beginning class will give you the basics of ballroom dance: leading and following, using the music, ballroom etiquette, learning the footwork and bodywork. Don't be surprised if you find yourself feeling taller, slimmer, and more energetic after only a few classes.
