Join us for a righteous evening of Disco and Ballroom! At this month's event, we explore the versatility of the modern Hustle. "Club Swing" is a variation on the traditional rhythm that will allow new dancers to enjoy this fast and fun classic with ease. Traditionally, Hustle is danced in a syncopated timing to Disco music. However, these days with a little tweak to the timing, we can use this energetic dance for a wide variety of popular music This is an all levels class, so beginners are welcome--Join us! This class is appropriate for beginners. After the class, we'll have open dancing in all your favorite styles- heavy on the Hustle, of course- so you can practice what you've learned. (If you're new to this, never fear... your Dj and MC, Jen, will announce with each song which dance styles are appropriate and when you can use your new moves.) Your ticket gives you one entry into our event raffle for 2 private dance lessons at our boutique lessons studio in Pacific Beach, with the instructor of your choice. **Heads up! We don't rotate in our classes like most studios do. So, you're welcome to attend on your own, but you'll have more fun if you bring a partner. Thursday, October 9 7-9 p.m. Tickets $15/person.
