• Len—Having Fun on the Dance Floor 

Before stepping on the dance floor you will need to know what type of dance music is playing! Is it a Cha Cha, Swing, Fox Trot, Waltz, or maybe something else? We will take just a few minutes to “identify the beat” and then review the basic steps of these four dances. Next we will practice some partner dancing, checking out the skills of leading and following. The goal is to learn the basic steps of the more common dances, so that you can feel relaxed, move around easily, look cool and enjoy yourself.! Be sure to bring some comfortable shoes that have soles that allow you to pivot (turn) easily on your weighted foot. Leather works fine, but most sneakers are too ‘sticky’.
