Celebrate Labor Day with a little dancing!
Happy Labor Day! I hope you’re having a great weekend. We had a fantastically fun time Saturday night at my social dance - thank you to all who came - especially those of you who come to beginner classes who decided to give it a try. I WILL have class tomorrow, Labor Day Monday, in Hooksett! Plus the usual Tuesday and Thursday classes.
We get to dance all this week, including THIS SATURDAY! Yes, two social dances in a row!

NEW AS OF THIS WEEK - MORE PRACTICE TIME FOR AB IN BEDFORD!
Starting this Tuesday, I’m giving the absolute beginner class in Bedford some extra practice time. This is my biggest class and I want to encourage more of my beginners on their dance journey to feel more confident and accomplished. A little practice goes a long way! I still invite everyone to come to Saturday socials to get that practice in, as well as doing some practice at home, but there’s nothing like being in class where you get that extra help and support from everyone in the room.
The way I want it to work is this: 6 p.m. I will still do a lesson from ground zero - anyone brand new should feel comfortable and get their feet under them. This will also be more of a warm-up dance for regular attendees. Then I teach a new AB dance and review what we did the previous week. Really, the same as I’ve been doing. Then at 7 p.m. we will, I hope, just dance the ones we’ve learned previously until 7:30. Yes, I will still review the steps! I’m not changing the price! Still $5 for 90 minutes of dance time! I guarantee you no one else is offering such a good deal.
Then at 7:30 I will teach a regular beginner lesson - that means a dance that may have a tag or restart in it, some slightly tougher steps like sailor shuffles, that are being done regularly in my socials and elsewhere. That will be followed by review of the previous week’s lesson and other dances by request til 8:30. Regular beginner is $7, same price.
GET BOTH IN ONE NIGHT FOR $10! I encourage anyone who’s taking beginner to do both AB and beginner, as you will stay up on what I’m teaching beginners generally. There are so many great AB and beginner dancers - you will want to know them all!
What about Hooksett beginners? Come a little early! I’m generally set up by 6 p.m., so if you come early, you can get that same half hour extra practice time in before class starts.
Ready to try intermediate? You can come any night and give it shot! I recommend that you stay in beginner for at least a year and feel like you easily pick up the steps and patterns. I do go faster in intermediate but I still take the time to explain the steps and patterns. Take that leap of faith and try it if you’ve been inspired by watching the intermediate dancers at a social.
