Dancing with Andy

You learn to dance as light as a feather. These are the gentlest and safest dance sessions. You learn to dance using your body to lead and follow. There is no use of force, meaning no pushing and pulling, no tension and pressure. You learn the language of dancing with a partner so you can communicate unambiguously. You learn the simple rules and signals to communicate every step in every dance in the same way with every person.

Let me know if you are coming. Not required. You can drop in. Invite others.

At the moment, these are small groups where you get personal attention. Take advantage of this time to get better. Group sizes vary.

All dancing at Congregation B'nai Israel, 3830 NW 23 Blvd, around the left side, 1/2 mile east of Fresh Market.
