What?
SWING: 6:30-7:30 p.m. Swing is THE most popular social dance in the United States for couples of all ages. It is fun, fast and spontaneous. Swing is an excellent antidote to winter blahs! This class takes the student from beginner to intermediate level in both Jitterbug and East Coast Swing. Experienced swing dancers are welcome – we’ll have new patterns for you as well!
MERENGUE: 7:30-8:30 p.m. Merengue is a Latin dance from the Dominican Republic.
Although the tempo of the music may be frantic, the upper body is kept majestic and turns are slow, typically four beats/steps per complete turn. Ideally suited to the small, crowded dance floors, it is a dance that is easy to learn and essentially a “fun” dance. This class takes the student from beginner to intermediate level.
