Ballroom Dancing Basics *In-Person* *NEW*

This beginner ballroom dance course guides students through the basics of multiple ballroom dance styles. We will work on fundamentals in styles like the waltz, foxtrot, tango, rumba, and swing. Students will learn about timing, musicality, and the concepts of lead and following. This class is open to all, and we will end up dancing with everyone in the class, so there is no need to worry about attending with a partner already. Prior ballroom experience is not required!
