It's Spooky Month!
Intermediate Nightclub Two-Step: 4-5:30 p.m.
Introductory Cross-Step Waltz: 5:30-7 p.m.
Social Dancing: 7-10 p.m.
$10-20 sliding scale (or pay what you can). Cash or Venmo only.
The first class (from 4-5:30 p.m.) is an intermediate class on Nightclub Two-Step. Ken C. teaches.
The introductory class (from 5:30-7 p.m.) will be on cross-step waltz, which is an exciting newer style of waltz danced to slower music. No experience or partner necessary! 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.) welcoming back DJ Deanna R. to bring us her favorite dance tunes. Some haunted! All delightful!
Halloween costumes are awesome and will be admired -- but not required.
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.
Feel like volunteering? We are always looking for people to help out by sitting a door shift. In return for your time greeting peoples and handling moneys, you'll get in for free. Sign up here (even if you've volunteered before, so we know to expect you this time): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe1PtYdNH4Ic-QWsbP-RMrYCPED1n6IUSR1z3pla_jg3amNxw/viewform
Special Notes: Please wear non-marking shoes to the event, or dance shoes if you have them! We've been getting black scuff marks on the newly-refinished floor of the Finnish Hall, and some of them don't scrub off. Thanks!
In addition, we and many dancers will appreciate it if you can reduce or eliminate heavy perfumes/colognes or other scents. Please be mindful of those with sensitivities or allergies! Thanks again!
