Gaye Fifer, one of the best waltz teachers in the country, is coming to NYC!!! She teaches beginning and advanced waltz all over the country. Her calm, warm and clear teaching style makes her a wonderful teacher and caller.

Location: Church of the Village (201 W 13th Street in Manhattan)

No partner or experience necessary!

Waltz Lessons:

Advanced Workshop 2:45-3:45

All the things Gaye might teach at the workshops: cuddle variations, parallels, cape variations, grapevines, laces and more! If you only know one role, come learn the other! If you want to add some spice and elegance to your waltz come to the advanced! If you're not sure which level you are, come to both! (It's the same price.)

Bring your dance shoes, a smile, and something yummy to share during break!

Each first-timer will get a free pass to come another time.
