"Matt Peake and Friends" along with Main Street Arts will be offering East Coast Swing and Ballroom Waltz lessons intermixed with East Coast Swing Dances throughout the Spring season. We will review familiar Swing and Waltz figures as we introduce new ones. Please see below for the schedule. Swing Dances will have a DJ and go from 7 to 9 PM. Music will be primarily Swing, with some Waltz music interspersed. Lessons will be back to back one hour sessions, Swing from 7-8pm and Waltz from 8-9pm. Each hour will have a 15 to 20 minute lesson with the rest of the hour for dancing. For those new to Swing dancing, we will be available from 6:30 to 7:00pm to help introduce you to the Swing patterns ahead of the formal lesson. For those new to Waltz, we will be available after the lesson to help you. Classes are mixed levels—no experience required. No partner necessary for Lessons or Swing Dances. $5 per person per lesson; $5 per person for the Swing Dances. Wear shoes with clean, dry soles and in which you can pivot on a wooden floor. Masks are optional. |
