Description:
Not a dancer? Not a problem! This dancing is for everyone! Come learn some of the most fun social dances from a life-long dancer who cares more about people than technique and wants to encourage anyone who feels awkward (or comfortable!) to find their own groove on the dance floor. And seriously, some of these dances don't require much more than being able to take four steps forward, backward, or to the side. You do that everyday. This makes it fun! Introverted or worried about crowds? I hear you. I'm willing to work at your pace encouraging you try things you haven't tried before without forcing you to break boundaries you're not yet comfortable with. I believe growth comes from trying new things, but I also believe people are all unique and deserve to be treated with respect--especially regarding personal space. Still not sure? Check out some of these videos if you're curious what kinds of dances we'll do! Also, feel free to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or curiosity regarding this class! I'm happy to listen to you and share my passion for dancing with you, student or parent. :) Easy: Borrowdale Exchange: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFHBidfCyV0 Easy: Boston Tea Party: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff51H03U7FU Medium: Irish Washerwoman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBgBbRgwr5 Hard: Dayagim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT-U3YKf9H0
