Night Club Two-Step is a slow, romantic dance. It is derived from both the bolero and the rumba. These dances have many figures in common. This is a really great dance to learn, not only for country music, but also for a lot of the slower pop music of today.
Thursday – June 10th, 17th, 24th, and July 1st. 7:00 – 8:30 PM
$20 per person, per class. $15 per person, in conjunction with private lessons during that month.
Night Club Hustle is a great versatile dance which can be used in most social dance situations. This workshop is also a preview of whats to come for July’s Thursday Night Group Classes
Sunday – June 13th 4:00 – 6:00 PM $20 per person
Show Stoppers are fun moves like turns, free spins, rolls, and dips. They can be used at the beginning, during or at the end of any dance.
