WE ARE HAVING SOME SPECIAL "CATCH UP" SATURDAY DANCES.
WE TEACH DANCES THAT ARE OFTEN DANCED AT PLDC SO YOU CAN GET OUT THERE AND DANCE MORE AND MORE AND MORE!
If you are interested, please text Suzi your email address:

Patterned dances have a series of steps that are learned one step at a time. We review the pattern over and over during the class, making it easier to learn the pattern.
Line Dances and Flow Dances fall into this category. The student learns the pattern and repeats the pattern through the length of the song.
Line dances are danced in lines, without a partner. Flow dances are danced in a circle, with or without a partner.
Line and Flow dances are taught on Wednesday nights at 7:30pm and are FREE with admission to the 7pm Open Dance. A new dance is taught one week and reviewed the next week which helps secure the dance in the student's muscle memory.
Includes
Two Step, Waltz, Swing, Nightclub Two, Cha Cha
Lead and Follow styles are danced as a couple. The gentleman leads and the lady follows his lead. These dance styles are always danced as a couple.
The gentleman's lead is transmitted to the lady using body language and specific hand or arm movements. The lady follows, meaning she is open and ready to follow his lead.
The Lead & Follow relationship between the dancers is perfected over time and is the a big part of our lessons.
At the current time, we are teaching these classes in a Workshop format.
