Aug. 9th - Turn with Colgadas

Limited to 10 dancers.

$20

Advanced registration is recommended.

Thursday Night Classes at Four Seasons Dance Studio

Each week will build into the next as the subjects become more complex. In addition, the 7pm 'Leaders Technique' builds into the 8pm 'Key to Tango Movement' class. The 'Leaders Technique' is only open to leaders, however the 'Keys to Tango Movement' is designed for both followers and leaders. Thank you to Ron Johnson for inviting Jay to teach his classes!!

All of these classes are open to all-levels of dancers.

$15 for one class, only $20 for two classes, guided practica is included with class, $5 without class
