$10-20 sliding scale (or pay what you can). Cash or Venmo only.
The first class (from 4-5:30 p.m.) will be on Irish ceili polka sets. You'll learn the basics of this fun improvised twist on traditional ceili dance, or if you already know it, you can learn and workshop some newer figures. If we can we'll split the class into an intermediate/advanced group and a beginners group. "Bandana" Bob C and Laura G teach.
The introductory class (from 5:30-7 p.m.) will be on rotary waltz, which is so important that it's usually just called "the waltz." No experience or partner necessary! Half of the dance party is waltzes and this "beginner lesson" is great for anyone who doesn't yet feel confident in 3/4, even if you've taken a lesson before. Brian A teaches.
And then, it's our social dance party (from 7-10 p.m.) with DJ Dylan S bringing you a slightly-more-Irish-than-usual mix of mostly waltzes, plus some polka, swing, latin, two-step, and more.
As always, EBW is a come-as-you-are, all ages, gender neutral, no-partner-required, ask anyone to dance event where we value consent and everyone is welcome.
