The first two series classes of the new year are scheduled and open for registration! Starting in January 2010, we will be offering Charleston and the Swing Dance Class. Both classes can be taken with no previous dance experience needed. The swing dance series class is a great introduction to swing dancing as it covers all the essentials and foundation moves to get you out on the dance floor having fun! Charleston is a great dance to know for when the music is on the faster side and you don’t want to wear yourself out. We’ll also show you how to blend Charleston into whatever style of swing you dance.
Keep these classes in mind if you are looking for an out-of-the-ordinary Christmas gift this year for someone special, friends, or family. Knowing how to dance is a lifelong skill that is called upon sometimes at the most unexpected times. Gift certificates for any of our series classes can be purchased by contacting us.
