This month, we're doing a bunch of different classes to give you a taste of some different styles of dancing. The first week will be a swing out clinic! We will help troubleshoot and get your swing outs looking and feeling more solid. We encourange dancers to know how to do a basic swing out, and be ready to add some technique and styling to your moves. Week two will be a special tap class taught by Deb. No tap shoes required. Week three, we're going to learn the classic Shim Sham routine. Whether you're learning for the first time, or just need a refresher, come have fun and dance.
