Waltz - Swing Class

Waltz- The Waltz appeared as a fashionable dance in Bohemia, Austria, Bavaria, and other parts of Europe in the late 1700’s. Danced ¾ time, it’s an easy dance to distinguish. There are three basic styles of Waltz: Viennese Waltz, Slow Waltz, and Old Time Waltz. In our group classes we teach Slow Waltz which can be danced to any style of music; Country Western, Traditional, and Pop.

East Coast Swing, club style. Club East Coast Swing is an updated version of traditional swing. This club craze started with a television commercial showing this style and dancers became eager to learn these steps. We will teach you how to use these steps to both medium tempo music (Swing), and fast tempos (Jitterbug).

Fox Trot – Salsa Class

Fox Trot- The Fox Trot remains the most popular social dance in the world today. Little did Harry Fox realize that this trotting on a New York stage in 1913 would become an overnight success. The Fox Trot is the foundation for many of the social dances that followed. It is enjoyed by all age groups for its ease of movement and smooth style. We have adopted the style to fit on today’s dance floors. Whether you’re at a wedding, Christmas party, or just out dancing for the night, Fox Trot is your dance for slow music.

Salsa- The word Salsa means sauce denoting a "hot" flavor. It is best distinguished from other Latin music styles by defining it as the New York sound developed by Puerto Rican musicians. The dance structure is largely associated with Mambo type patterns. Once again great for nightclubs and very flexible with timing, though it’s typically danced to faster tempos.
