Classes Tuesday at LMDC

Let us take you back to when ballroom dancing was first invented.
Classes continue to be held every Tuesday night:

7 pm Beginning Class in Waltz
all levels welcome; no partner or experience necessary
8 pm Intermediate Class, in Waltz and other Victorian dances
prerequisite = 3 weeks or more in our Beginning class

only $8 per class
(Returning students in Intermediate may take both hours for $10)

A new twist on an old twirl! Join us as we take the easy, romantic waltz from a century ago and spice it up with music from right now. Classes are drop-in and no partner or dance experience is needed to take the beginning class. This is vintage style waltzing, where the emphasis is on carousing and comraderie rather than on competition. You may have seen this rotary waltz at a contra dance, folk dance, or Scottish or Irish ceili... it spans many countries and groups. A handful of our high-quality lessons is enough to make a waltzer of you, and by then most people like it so much they come back over and over.
Come by any Tuesday night to the Lake Merritt Dance Center,
200 Grand Avenue, Oakland, CA.

	From 580, take the Harrison St exit and go towards downtown Oakland. Turn left at Bay (signal), and turn right into the parking lot, one half block later.	From Bart, get off at the 19th street station and take the northernmost exit, labeled 20th street. Walk down 20th, and as you pass the Kinko's it will turn you left and put you on Harrison. Walk a couple more blocks toward the big white building, and when you get to it go across to the far side where the door is usually open.
