Sunday, June 11, 4:00pm - 6:30pm - East Coast Swing and Carolina Shag Dance Party
We are teaming up with Nesselrod on the New for an afternoon of swing dance workshops and a swinging dance party at their gorgeous outdoor pavilion. Join us for East Coast Swing (beginner, plus something shiny) and totally beginner Carolina Shag dance workshops and then stay for the dance party at 5:30. The party is included for class participants, but it’s also open to the public.
While the party playlist will focus on class material, it will also include all those other styles you’ve heard about and love: Waltz, Tango, West Coast Swing, Hustle, Cha Cha, Rumba, and more. Feel free to bring a snack to share. Water will be provided.
PLEASE REGISTER by the Saturday before the dance!
Price: Workshops - $14/person
Social - $5/person (included for wksp participants)
Beginners welcome, but should be there at the beginning of the lesson to get a solid foundation. Experienced dancers will find delightful variations and new ways to use old favorites in the lesson.

Tuesday, June 13, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm - Historic Dance (English Country Dance) Workshop
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.
Price: This workshop is free, but a donation jar will be out during the dancing, if you feel like adding a couple of dollars.
None! Beginner and advanced dancers will find lots to love at this workshop.

Details Coming Soon!
Price: $14/person general ~ $8/Full Time HS or University Student ~ Free for members BD@VT
Early registration is super helpful.
While no one dances to all the music at a dance party, we suggest you be comfortable with at least a few styles. Otherwise, you might be watching more than dancing - way less fun. The pre-dance lesson begins beginner but progresses to intermediate.
