Ballroom Basics is a six-week session where we focus on two ballroom dances. By the end, the goal is for you to feel comfortable dancing a full song in each dance. This is designed for absolute beginners who want to give ballroom dance a try as well as returning dancers who are brushing up on the basics. To reach that goal, along with in-class instruction, you will get handouts of the steps covered and a weekly email with YouTube links to review the steps. You will also be learning to lead or follow and starting to work on proper body movement and technique. No partner or previous dance experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn! We rotate partners during class as it helps solidify skills. Elizabeth Converse has been ballroom dancing since 2006 and has experience with both lead and follower. In 2019, she began teaching beginners ballroom. Her desire is to teach students to have correct movement and be good partners as much as having the right steps. Session I (Rumba & East Coast Swing): 6 classes, Mondays, 1/26-3/9 (no class 2/16), 5:30pm-6:30pm, GMS, $99
