Let’s see if this is a good place to dance! This is an experiment...Thanks for joining me.
Come at 5 if you want to help set-up or sign folks in.
Beginning lesson at 5:15, Intermediate lesson at 6.
No need to bring a partner. We will be trading partners.
Free, but RSVP and waiver required.
Waiver required by Sports Basement...this will be emailed to all who RSVP.
Due to space limitations, I am asking people to RSVP so we don't end up with too many people, but I haven't set this up yet. At least 50-70 people will fit into the space.
The floor is cement. Good news - we will not be jumping. You may want to bring a couple of pairs of shoes to see which works best with the floor....to get that "not too sticky, not too slippery" connection with the floor.
Starts April 1: Wednesdays 1-2:30 pm, Miraloma Park Clubhouse
Join me as I return to my first love in dance!
We’ll build fitness and skill, learn dance sequences, explore the elements of dance, and create original works together. Open to anyone who likes to move, no dance experience needed. Designed for older adults. Adults of all ages are welcome.
Registration and payment information coming soon.
Email to let me know you plan to come: jmhughes5678@gmail.com
