- We will be learning and doing dances of a wide range of styles and speeds so there is something for everyone.
- Bouncy dancing – got it!
- Courtly, elegant dancing – got it!
- Weaving through other lines of people – got it!
- Spinning about to show off your fancy clothes – got it!
- Everything you need to know will be taught and called during the dancing with the goal of having fun. You don’t need to have any special shoes, have any experience, or bring a partner. Just a desire to have fun!
