For Beginners and Advanced Beginners in the five core dances: Rumba, East Coast Swing, Waltz, Cha Cha, Foxtrot, and in three Specialty Dances: Samba, American Style Tango and Bolero.
The three Specialty Dances, Samba, American Style Tango and Bolero, follow the Silver Smooth and Rhythm class (Tuesday nights at 6:00 pm), making them ideal for more advanced students to broaden their dance knowledge beyond the basic core dances as well as for all beginning students.
A new 10-week dance rotation starts every other week. The next start date for each of the dances is listed below.
Foxtrot: An all purpose dance that evokes images of vaudeville and big band. This dance can be adapted to many different types of music including smooth jazz, blues, and even some slow rock tunes. It has an easygoing, classy, deliberate feel.
Next Foxtrot class starts on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 6:00 pm.
Rumba: The dance of love. A sensual, romantic dance featuring Latin flair, and based on the box step. The music is full, Cuban-inspired, and classic, but easily adaptable to slow contemporary music.
Next Rumba class starts on Tuesday, June 4, 2013 at 7:30 pm.
Tango: American Style Tango is one of the easier smooth dances because of the absence of rise and fall. It has a staccato feel, and the music is powerful and dramatic.
Next Tango class starts on Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 6:45 pm.
East Coast Swing: A fun, upbeat, bouncy dance derived from the Lindy Hop of the early 1900's. Today, swing is danced to many types of music including jump blues, big band, rock n' roll, and country western.
Next East Coast Swing class starts on Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 7:30 pm.
Waltz: A smooth, gliding dance with elegant, graceful, and romantic character. The music is lilting and peaceful in 3/4 time.
Next Waltz class starts on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 at 6:45 pm.
Cha Cha: A rhythmic, lively, and flirtatious dance using small steps and quick turns that originally evolved from mambo. The mood of cha cha music is catchy and happy and can be found not only in classic big band tunes but also in pop, R & B, country, and rock 'n roll.
Next Cha Cha class starts on Wednesday, August 7, 2013 at 6:00 pm.
Bolero: A slow, graceful, and romantic dance done to dreamy music that is similar to but slower than rumba music. It features a dance hold like that of the smooth dances, but the footwork is Latin-inspired.
Next Bolero class starts on Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 6:45 pm.
Samba: A Latin dance done to the pulsing 2/4 rhythm of Brazilian Carnival-style music. The feel of the samba is fast, elegant, and playful.
Next Samba class starts on Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 6:45 pm.
