Stay active, stay cool, have fun! We welcome both couples and singles to join in on the fun.
June dances of the rumba and the waltz were a big hit! For July, we had the cha-cha and the international foxtrot.
In August comes the salsa and the iconic hustle. In September we have the rumba for those who missed it, and we are adding the tango for some extra flair! Each month offers two different dances, so stay tuned to what October through December will bring.

Cost: $10 per person or $15 per couple, per lesson

Aug. 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30: Two dances that had the biggest influence on partner dance participation over the last 50 years.
“The Salsa,” 2 to 2:45 p.m.: A Latin dance that borrows from the other Latin dances with its own interpretation and flair.
“The Hustle,” 3 to 3:45 p.m.: A swing dance that allows for a great deal of creativity and versatility, while adaptable to many types of music and has since become a staple in the international dance scene.
Sept. 6, 13, 20, and 27: Latin ballroom at its finest. From the fun movement of the rumba to the forlorn music of the tango.
“The Rumba,” Sept. 6 and 13, 2 to 2:45 p.m./Sept. 20 and 27, 5 to 5:45 p.m.:You will translate Latin rhythms to fun movement on the dance floor with new steps to compliment your combinations.
“The Tango,” Sept. 6 and 13, 3 to 3:45 p.m./Sept. 20 and 27, 6 to 7 p.m.: What makes the tango so unique as a dance form is its embrace and use of improvisation and the music used for the dance.
