Group Classes

Beginning, and Level 2 and Above, classes are held on Thursday evenings at 7:30pm and 8:30pm respectively

January 9-30, 2025 classes:

Class Description

7:30pm to 8:30pm - Beginning Quickstep - This class is for adults with little or no training in Quickstep, and for those experienced dancers who wish to review and improve upon their basics in this quiick tempo, upbeat progressive dance. Quickstep evolved from the Foxtrot and was originally called the Quick Time Foxtrot and Charleston. What a mouthful. I will be teaching the basics of this fun dance in sequence format so you can be dancing it on the open dance floor right away. So fun. Cost is $80/person for the full 4 weeks.*

8:30pm to 9:30pm - Level 2 and above Rumba and Bolero - This class is a continuation of the Beginning Rumba and Bolero classes I taught in November and December, and for those who have mastered the basics of these two romantic slow Latin style dances. I will quickly review the basics then move on to more and more fun patterns and combinations. :-) We will have fun. Cost is $80/person for the full 4 weeks.*

Singles as well as couples are welcome. Partners are recommended but not required. Everyone gets to dance.

Changing partners is highly recommended, but not required. I fully understand that everyone has their own level of caution and sense of safety, and I will fully support each of you in your standards of comfort. I want everyone to be relaxed and have fun. Of course, as experienced dancers know, changing partners speeds up and enhances your learning and dancing skills, as well as your enjoyment. We will work with and respect everyone's comfort level.

*I teach progressively during each session, meaning each subsequent class reviews and builds on the preceding class, so being able to commit to all classes in a session will be the most rewarding and fun experience. However, I allow a modified drop in attendance with the minimum sign up of 2 classes for the session.

*You can pay for these Thursday evening classes in two ways:

(1) By purchasing a flexible 10 class punch card for $200 one of three ways:

1. going online to: https://www.icandothatpac.org/adultclasses (credit card)

3. coming to class early to buy the punch card from Joallyn with cash or check made payable to ICDT! - no credit cards accepted - sorry).
