Vintage Waltz Classes
Welcome
to our happy night of waltzing, in the cozy atmosphere of the Lake Merritt Dance Center.
Classes continue to be held every Tuesday night :
7 pm Beginning Class in Waltz
8 pm Intermediate Class, in Waltz and other Victorian dances
9 pm DJ Dance / practice time (free with class!)
$8 for one class, $10 for both
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. It is walking distance from Bart and has its own parking lot. 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.
