Extended Topics: Get Confident (7:00-8:00)

To kick off the new extended topics format for the 7pm class this month, we’re going to work with the theme of “Get It Boston”! Now that you’ve gotten good and feedback on how to get even better, it’s time to show you know your stuff. Confidence is key to owning your dance, and this class will be all about the little details that help keep you standing tall on the dance floor. You don’t need any specific pre-reqs to participate in the class.

Blues Basics: Struttin’ & Improvisation (8:00-9:00)

Other weeks, we’ll learn how to listen to the music, find your own basic, and build a beautiful dance to any style of blues music.
