Come dance to the World Music you listen to. Learn the dances -- most in circles or lines, and a few couple turning dances -- that inspired that great music!
No partner needed and absolutely no experience necessary. Come by yourself or bring friends. Beginners are encouraged to arrive on time for introductory teaching in each session.
Our repertoire includes dances from Eastern Europe and around the world, in rhythms you've never heard of (plus some you have).
These dances continue as a regular series on Sunday nights, so you can keep coming once you get hooked!
