Social Lessons<\/h1>\n

Monday 8:30 -10:00pm, Rockne Memorial Room #205<\/h3>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

Looking for a fun evening of dancing and meeting new people? Want to learn to handle yourself a little more confidently on the dance floor without getting too technical? These lessons are your best bet! The weekly social lesson is taught by student instructors and tailored to those with little-to-no previous partner dance experience. You will learn the basic moves of most of the major ballroom dances including Cha Cha, Tango, and East Coast Swing, as well as other social dances including West Coast Swing, Night Club Two-step, Salsa, and Bachata. You will have the opportunity to get to know many other Notre Dame and SMC students in a fun, friendly environment!<\/p>\n

American Lessons<\/h1>\n

Tuesday 8:30-10:00pm, Rockne Memorial Room #205<\/h3>\n

\"\" \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Our American style lessons include American smooth dances (Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, and Viennese Waltz) as well as American rhythm dances (Cha Cha, Rumba, Swing, and Mambo). Even if you have two (or three) left feet, we can help you learn to glide gracefully around the floor. Our dedicated coach Kevin Guy will start from the basics of the dances and focus on the most fun (and challenging) part of ballroom dancing: the connection between leader and follower and the technique that makes this connection strong. These lessons are the most beneficial when attended consistently.<\/p>\n

Intermediate Technique Lessons<\/h1>\n

Thursday 8:30-10:00pm In Duncan Studio 3 (Smith Center)<\/h3>\n

\"\" \u00a0\"\"<\/h3>\n

Our tireless coach, Kayla Carpenter, offers more technique-heavy lessons. This is a great way to prepare for competitions! Weekly attendance as well as a little practice on your own time (even if it’s just in front of your bathroom mirror) is the most effective approach to these lessons.<\/p>\n
