We’ll be teaching several different pattern dances, each taught and walked through slowly to include everyone. This style of dancing is lively and fun while being structured and controlled so that people with little to no dance experience of all ages can learn and have a good time! This style of dancing is very active, so lean more toward tennis shoes than dance heels.
