This is a wonderful opportunity for physical exercise and fun through dance movements. Coursework will include syllabus descriptive handouts with weekly worksheets and instruction. Students will develop a repertoire of patterns in each style of dancing; learn leading and following techniques; recognize styles of music, appropriate steps and personal flair for each dance form. The discovery of social, recreational and lifelong fitness value for individual quality of life will meet you at every turn. Come on out and join in the art of fitness fun!
