Mon 5 Dec, 5:30-7:15 pm. 5:30 to 6:15 pm Hustle.
6:15 to 7:15 pm Swing.
Continuing two awesomely fun dances. The exhilarating Hustle. This is the dance that kept partner dancing alive during the 1970s and 1980s. Hustle inspired the cool moves you see in Salsa. Hustle helps you learn precision and turning.
Swing is the most versatile of the partner dances. We dance to the great music of the classic swing and jazz era as well as lots of newer music up to contemporary times. You dance at a comfortable speed. Swing is a great dance for learning musicality and improvisation.

$75 for six Mondays (one night free), or
$120 for six Mondays and six Thursdays (four nights free), or
$15 per night.
