Date of Class
Attention Instructors: I’ve taught this format for many years and seem to tweak something each time. If you choose to try it and find something better, either a dance or song, I would appreciate it greatly if you would let me know. Or if you have something similar and would like to share, please use the contact tab for your comments and suggestions. Thanks!
Attention New Dancers: Don't get discouraged, it WILL come together for you. It's a lot all at once but you won't regret it. Many of these dances are done at our periodic "big" dances. Music may be different in class and at the dances.
