That Dance Thing (TDT) - Family is a safe, secure, and friendly environment in which students (adults and teens) can socialize and learn to dance. The classes run for four Friday evenings, two in March and two in April. The goal is to provide students with a good level of comfort and competence on the dance floor. All students will learn the art and basic skills of leading and following. The fun and comfortable atmosphere is also a good environment in which to grow social graces and new friendships. The combination of a very structured curriculum and an encouraging, experienced teacher brings many successes and emerging self-confidence to new dancers, young and old. Students are exposed to a variety of ballroom music, taught how to recognize each, and learn the foundational basic steps for six classic dances: swing, cha cha, rumba, samba, waltz, and fox trot. Everything is taught in a format and pace that all can easily follow and sustain. Music used is appropriate for all ages.
