Partner Dance Mini Workshops

Partner Dance Mini Workshops

Learn new couples dances from Swing to Two Step, and even a little Cha Cha. Students will embrace a full range of steps, patterns, temps and rhythms, and turns and directions for both partner dancing and line dancing. Brush up on your steps or start fresh, while meeting other couples. Classes are monthly.

Level: All Levels

NOVEMBER Country Two Step The two-step is a partner dance and a progressive dance that proceeds counterclockwise around the dance floor; referred to as the racetrack. The partners usually start in closed position where the leader faces the line of dance, and the follower starts out dancing backwards. Soon both start dancing in different patterns, while moving down the line of dance. That’s why it’s fun, creative, and challenging, all while you are enjoying that good old country music.
