I could have danced all night, danced all night... Waltz Friday Beginner Workshop Friday, February 20, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Classic and romantic, the Waltz will carry you away like a gentle lullaby put into motion. This elegant dance will teach you grace and balance to beautiful music. With a slow pace and simple rhythm, Waltz is a wonderful dance to start your ballroom journey with.
Missed last week? No problem! Each week we teach a 40-50 minute lesson, starting with the absolute basics in a fun, popular dance style. And then, finish off the hour with a little taste of another style that will be on the schedule later in the season.
It makes an awesome #DateNight, #ParentsNightOut, or an evening of #FunWithFriends.
Location: Sapphire Studio
Price: $9/person in-studio (online options available, contact us for details). Pay online and register at the same time at Sapphire's Square Store.
Registration by noon the day of the event required. We will accommodate late registrations when we can.
Prerequisite: None - this is just for beginners! Waltz is a fantastic dance to learn when you've never danced before.

Historic Dance (in casual clothes) Historic Dance (English Country Dance) Workshop Tuesday, March 10, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Join the English Country Dancers of the New River Valley Historic Dance Society as we laugh, dance, and enjoy each other's company while learning dance new to us, but old as the 13 Colonies. This is the dancing you find in Pride and Prejudice, that George Washington did on vacation, and that evolved into modern Contra and Square dancing.
Beginners, groups, singles, and families are always welcome. Every dance will be taught by being broken down into simple components and cued while dancing. If you can walk, you can dance, and we'd love to have you join the set.
Location: Sapphire Studio
Price: This workshop is free, but a donation jar will be out during the dancing, if you feel like adding a couple of dollars. . Pay online and register at the same time at Sapphire's Square Store.
Registration by noon the day of the event required. We will accommodate late registrations when we can.
Prerequisite: None! Beginner and advanced dancers will find lots to love at this workshop.
